About LaJuana
LaJuana Walker-McGill is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 24 years of experience. She practices in Missouri and helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Her focus also includes forgiveness and self-love. She speaks English and does not accept international clients.
She describes clients as the experts on their own stories and emphasizes building on existing strengths. In sessions she listens first, then works with people to identify patterns that increase frustration or hurt. The room is a place to talk through reactions, notice what triggers anger, and try new ways of responding.
LaJuana uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on the client's perspective. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Together these approaches are used to develop practical strategies for everyday situations, like snapping at a partner or feeling overwhelmed at work.
Her style leans toward straightforward, actionable steps rather than long theory talks. Clients often practice small changes between sessions to test what helps. The goal is clearer communication, better control over reactive moments, and rebuilding confidence after setbacks.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time and costs vary by location.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
LaJuana draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on the client's own perspective. That means conversations aim to clarify what matters to the person, and the therapist follows the client's lead to explore feelings and goals. This approach helps when someone needs space to speak about anger or relationship strain without being redirected.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence each other. CBT offers tools like identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses in real situations. That can be useful for interrupting cycles of resentment or frequent outbursts and for building new routines between sessions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which techniques to try based on needs, goals, and personal preference. Sessions are collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
Specific online session formats are not listed here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it simpler to practice new skills in their everyday environment and then return to sessions to talk through what did and did not help.
