About Shalette
Shalette Lawton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the daily strains of parenting. She also supports those dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, and life changes.
She welcomes a straightforward, strengths-based approach. Sessions begin by listening to a person's story and identifying practical steps they can try. Shalette helps clients set small goals and build on what is already working in their lives.
Background and approach
Her work blends client-centered care with evidence-based techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are introduced to reduce reactivity and improve focus.
She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to address intimacy-related concerns and improve emotional connection. Solution-Focused Therapy is part of short-term work where quick, concrete changes are the goal. Shalette has spent over a decade supporting people through grief, career shifts, chronic health challenges, and caregiving stress.
Her style is direct, compassionate, and practical. She works with each person to create realistic plans they can use between sessions. People meet with her by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging when that fits their life.
Her practice operates through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and sessions are scheduled according to therapist availability.

Practical approaches for online support
Shalette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors that make life harder. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood shifts. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes the person's own goals and strengths and creates space to talk without judgement.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will help clients choose techniques that fit their needs and daily life, and will adapt the plan as goals and preferences change. This is a collaborative process where the client’s priorities guide the focus.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy routines. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and deeper interaction, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins or moments when writing feels easier. These formats offer flexibility for people balancing parenting, work, and health demands.
