About LaNita
LaNita Dyer is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression, and she lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations aim to identify what is working and what needs to change. The focus is on small, achievable steps that can reduce stress and increase confidence in social situations.
LaNita uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients set clear goals and build on existing strengths. That approach looks for concrete actions and quick wins rather than long exploratory work. It can be useful for managing social anxiety, improving self-esteem, and coping with life transitions like divorce or separation.
She offers guidance for managing grief and depression with day-to-day strategies. The emphasis is on what can help in the next week or month, such as routines, behavioral experiments, and practical coping tools. Discussions also cover self-love and sexuality when these topics affect a person’s wellbeing.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. LaNita encourages people to try specific steps between meetings and then review what changed. The approach is collaborative and focused on usable techniques rather than abstract theory.
