About KaShava
KaShava Coston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the District of Columbia with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She also helps people with communication problems, questions about life purpose, and building self-love.
She begins by helping people understand what they are feeling and where those feelings come from. Sessions focus on clear, practical skills for daily life - for example, communication strategies and ways to manage anxiety or low mood. Conversations aim to link what a person wants with concrete steps they can try between sessions.
Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide problem-solving and behavior changes. She adapts methods to each person's situation rather than using a single fixed model. The emphasis is on small, manageable goals that add up over time.
KaShava pays attention to culture and identity during sessions and considers how background shapes stress and choices. She encourages exploring values and life direction alongside symptom reduction. This can include clarifying priorities, improving relationships, and pacing changes so they are realistic.
People who prefer straightforward, skill-focused sessions may find this approach helpful. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, while also exploring deeper questions about purpose and self-regard. Before booking, confirm current session options to make sure they match your needs.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
KaShava draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on skill building for managing anxiety and depression, teaching practical tools such as breathing, behavioral activation, and structured planning to reduce overwhelm. Another approach emphasizes communication skills training, which teaches clear ways to express needs, set boundaries, and repair conversations when conflict arises.Finding the best approach is part of the work. She treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help you decide which techniques fit your goals and preferences. That means trying methods, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as you progress.
