Getting to know LaSonya Kelly
Hi there, I'm LaSonya!
Hello, I?m LaSonya! My name is LaSonya Kelly, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker ? Certified in the state of Maryland. I earned my Master?s in Social Work from Howard University. I work with individuals and families, specializing in depression, anxiety, life transitions, loss and grief, and bipolar disorder. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy to help my clients achieve their therapeutic goals and start feeling better.
My approach
My approach is unique to the needs of the presenting individual and/or family. I use an eclectic approach, understanding there isn?t any one cookie-cutter method. This eclectic style, with a special focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy, helps me support my clients through their reality and paves a new pathway to healthier outcomes.
My focus
I work extremely well with adults and families as they navigate life transitions, depression, marital concerns, and social stressors. I help my clients face these challenges as a change agent, assisting them in understanding themselves better, developing positive perspectives toward change, and working from a strength-based perspective. I believe everyone comes to the process with strengths, no matter where they start.
My communication style
My communication style is personable, open, honest, and calming. I want my clients to feel comfortable, confident, and supported despite the challenges they face. I pride myself on focusing on a person?s strengths, no matter what has happened or what challenges are presented.
My journey to mental healthcare
I decided to become a therapist many years ago after working as an engineer and realizing God had a bigger plan for me?to help others heal emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, which in turn supports physical healing. I enjoy helping others become the best version of themselves and find pleasure in encouraging them to strive from a strength-based perspective.
