About LaSonda
LaSonda Sylte is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Indiana. She helps people who are dealing with stress, sleep problems, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and relationship strain. Her manner is warm and direct and she aims to make sessions feel manageable for busy lives.
With 23 years of clinical experience, she has supported people facing trauma, life changes, and end-of-life concerns. She has worked with a wide age range and a variety of presenting issues, including caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to aging.
LaSonda takes a partnership approach. She listens first, then talks through practical steps clients can try between sessions. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, and client-centered techniques to match strategies to each person's needs.
Sessions focus on clear goals such as improving sleep routines, reducing anxious thinking, managing urges, or rebuilding daily structure after loss. She uses straightforward tools and teaches skills so people can practice on their own time.
Her style is calm, respectful, and honest. People who prefer a collaborative therapist who offers practical strategies and steady support may find her approach helpful. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values. It helps people move forward even when difficult thoughts or feelings remain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. LaSonda will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape session activities and homework so the work stays relevant to daily life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in their usual daily settings and brings treatment into the context where sleep and routine challenges happen most often.
