About LaShayla

Dr. LaShayla Dyer offers an empathetic, strengths-based approach for people navigating relationship strains, family conflicts, mood challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Dr. Dyer brings 11 years of clinical experience as an LCSW and CSW licensed in Georgia, and she centers the client as the expert in their own story while helping them marshal existing strengths to meet current challenges.

Her work addresses a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma and grief, parenting and blended family concerns, intimacy and communication problems, stress and compassion fatigue, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and career difficulties.

She blends evidence-informed methods and collaboration to make therapy practical and relatable, encouraging clients to name what feels overwhelming and to take steps toward meaningful change. Therapeutic encounters with Dr.

Dyer focus on building trust, exploring patterns that maintain distress, and expanding coping options. She supports clients through both immediate problems and longer-term growth, tailoring techniques from multiple approaches to align with each person’s goals and preferences.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Dr. Dyer integrates Internal Family Systems and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centered principles to help clients explore patterns and build workable strategies. Internal Family Systems focuses on understanding internal parts and their roles, which can be useful for addressing trauma, anxiety, and internal conflict by helping people notice and relate differently to their thoughts and feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values-guided action and mindfulness skills to help people tolerate uncomfortable feelings while moving toward meaningful goals.

Finding the most helpful approach is collaborative rather than fixed. Dr. Dyer works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and the presenting concern, and then tailors techniques from these approaches so therapy feels practical and aligned with the client’s needs.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity across locations, and try different communication styles as therapy progresses.
