LaShica Hemingway, LCMHC

LaShica Hemingway is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 12 years of counseling experience. She welcomes people who are taking a step toward care and offers steady, practical support. LaShica lives in North Carolina and draws on years of direct work with adults facing mental health and substance use challenges.

She began her career working with adults with mental illness, developmental disabilities, and substance abuse concerns. That work also included supporting young adults in transitional housing through individual and group counseling. She has provided clinical work and in-home support to address family-related challenges, always focusing on what a person can do next.

LaShica describes her approach as eclectic, with a strong focus on cognitive-behavioral methods and person-centered care. Cognitive-behavioral work looks at patterns of thought and behavior and helps people try small, practical changes. Person-centered care means sessions center on the person’s goals and choices rather than a set formula.

She helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, low self-esteem, anxiety, trauma and grief, anger, career concerns, and depression. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on real-life steps that fit each person’s situation. LaShica encourages people to weigh options and use available resources when planning next steps.

She enjoys lifting weights, playing softball, and running outside of work. That practical, active approach also shows up in her therapy style: direct, collaborative, and focused on what will move someone forward.

Approaches that guide online work and finding the right fit

LaShica often uses cognitive-behavioral methods, which look at how thoughts and actions interact and focus on trying practical changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood, or shift unhelpful patterns. She also uses person-centered principles that prioritize the person's goals, choices, and experience during sessions.

These approaches are explained and chosen together. The therapist will work with each person to identify which methods feel most useful and to adjust the plan as work progresses. Finding the right mix is treated as a collaborative process based on needs, goals, and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick adjustment is needed. It also makes it possible to continue consistent work from different locations when schedules change, while keeping focus on practical goals and homework that apply to everyday life.
