La’Quesha Fonrose
My name is La’Quesha Fonrose, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I’m also a Certified and Accredited Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Practitioner. As a Christian, my faith in Jesus Christ is an important part of who I am and how I approach healing. I believe God cares about our emotional and mental well-being, and that finding greater peace sometimes requires prayer, faith, and taking intentional steps toward change. My approach combines evidence-based therapy, practical tools, and Christian principles. When appropriate and welcomed by the client, I incorporate Scripture and explore practical ways to apply biblical principles to everyday challenges.
Let’s break the patterns that keep you stuck and create a life that makes room for you, too.
Through my **REST • REPAIR • RECOVER** framework, I help women who are used to carrying a lot, putting others first, and holding everything together learn to care for themselves, work through emotional challenges, and create lasting change. My goal is to help you move beyond simply getting through the day and begin experiencing more peace, clarity, and confidence in your life. You don’t have to keep pushing through everything on your own. Therapy can be a space where you slow down, reconnect with yourself, strengthen your emotional well-being, and explore what it looks like to live in a way that aligns with your values and faith.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help us create a tailored plan specific to your needs for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
What makes my approach different is that I want you to feel understood, not judged or like you have to defend your experiences. I combine emotional support, clinical education, and practical strategies to help you better understand yourself, recognize patterns, and make meaningful changes. My approach to traditional therapy is intentional and goal-oriented, typically structured around 12–16 sessions. Together, we identify what you want to change, develop practical tools, and work toward greater emotional well-being and lasting progress. In addition to traditional therapy, I offer 1–3 day therapy intensives for those who want dedicated time and space to focus on deeper therapeutic work and make meaningful progress toward their goals. My goal is for you to leave our work together with greater self-awareness, increased confidence in navigating life's challenges, and practical tools to build a life that feels more balanced and sustainable.
Ideal clients
I specialize in working with professional women who often feel overwhelmed by the challenges of calming the chaos in their lives. Many of the clients I support are navigating the complexities of PTSD, anxiety, and chronic stress. I provide them with effective emotional regulation tools, empowering them to manage distressing thoughts and emotions. My approach is designed for those who desire a more grounded, peaceful life but may lack the tools to achieve it on their own.
Treatment methods
Somatic
The form of somatic therapy that I utilize is treatment is Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) which is a therapeutic approach that combines tapping on acupressure points with cognitive reframing to help clients release emotional blockages related to trauma, anxiety, and stress. By addressing both the emotional and physical aspects of distress, EFT promotes healing and resilience, enabling clients to manage overwhelming emotions and achieve greater emotional balance.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based therapy that focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors. By teaching clients practical strategies to reframe their thinking and develop healthier coping mechanisms, CBT effectively addresses issues like anxiety, depression, and trauma, helping clients achieve long-term emotional well-being.
