Find a licensed online therapist in Highland Park, TX

Hi there! My name is Laronne (la-Ron) and I have been involved in several aspects of the mental health field for fifteen years. I am a Texan and currently work in a suburb of Dallas. I have a partner of 17 years and a 33 year old son. I began my journey as a criminal justice addictions professional and worked with a variety of clients to include those with intellectual disabilities who had been charged with a variety of crimes as well as federal parolees who are having issues with substance abuse. I also facilitated a group for high school kids who had tested positive for (mostly) marijuana during random testing. I worked with people with autism and intellectual disabilities from 2004 through 2017 working closely with psychiatrists and performed as a team leader. While working on obtaining my license I worked in a psychiatric hospital in the intensive outpatient program during my internship. After obtaining my license I sought employment with a social service agency so that I could work with a wide variety of people with a wide range of concerns. I enjoy working with different cultures and subcultures and most often work with people with substance abuse, depression, anxiety, past trauma and those dealing through life changes such as grief, disability, and retirement, forced or otherwise. Although an existentialist at heart, my therapeutic approach is primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I feel this approach works very well for a myriad of issues and is relatively short term and is an action therapy which provides working tools and is client driven.

I graduated from East Texas Baptist University with a Masters in Counseling. There I learned how to associate spirituality into the healing process . I have experience working with individuals of many cultures and ethnicities, many of which I met as a case worker in Dallas. I have also worked in a clinical, outpatient, and inpatient settings. I have worked with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, boundaries, addiction, bipolar disorders, mood disorders, schizophrenia , and many more. I have worked with all ages from 5-99 . I am trained in crisis and suicide intervention. I am also certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My main motivation is my love for others and I believe were intended out of love so must love to intend. I come from a Cognitive Behavior framework but integrates other counseling techniques when necessary to meet client needs.
