LaShica Hemingway

LaShica Hemingway is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) with 12 years of experience. She welcomes people who are ready to take time for themselves and wants to make the process straightforward and respectful. She lives in North Carolina and brings a calm, practical presence to sessions.

She has worked in community and clinical settings with adults who have mental illness, people with developmental disabilities, and those facing substance use challenges. She has provided individual and group counseling for young adults in transitional housing and has offered counseling in both clinic and home settings.

LaShica draws from an eclectic approach with strong emphasis on cognitive-behavioral methods and person-centered care. That means sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills, while also creating space to listen and reflect on what matters most to the person. She aims to help people make clear choices about their next steps.

Common concerns she supports include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and family strain, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. She favors straightforward conversation and action steps that can fit into daily life.

Outside of work she is married with two children and enjoys weightlifting, running, and softball. She invites people who want a direct, supportive approach to consider starting the process and learning what might help for their situation.

How her therapy approaches work online

LaShica uses evidence-based techniques in her work, including cognitive-behavioral methods and person-centered care. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Person-centered care emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping the person make their own choices about change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That can mean trying a practical skill one week and focusing on reflective listening the next.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people join from different locations within the same state. Ask about session length, frequency, and any technical needs when you schedule to make sure the plan fits your routine.
