“The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide you’re not going to stay where you are.” ~ J.P. Morgan
Hello and welcome to Better Help! My name is LaShanna Larkins and I’m thrilled that you decided to take the steps to INVEST IN YOU! You might be a little uneasy about this process but I assure you that we are in this TOGETHER.
So let me tell you a little bit about myself. I began working in this career field in 2004 as a Mental Health Technician in the United States Air Force. In 2008, I decided to pursue my master's degree by attending the College of Social Work at the University of South Carolina—GO GAMECOCKS!!! I graduated with the highest of honors and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Florida. I am a proud military spouse and have had the pleasure of providing services to individuals, couples, families, and groups all over the world. The myriad of experiences that I’ve had in the military and civilian sector have equipped me with a wealth of knowledge, a unique skill set, and clinical expertise that I believe will empower you to live a fulfilling and purposeful life.
I understand the importance of being able to connect with your counselor so if you have any questions or would like to talk more then please feel free to contact me. I hope to hear from you soon and wish you love, peace, & happiness!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
