About Delashawn
Delashawn Kemp is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 12 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She also helps people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, and motivation struggles.
She frames clients as the experts of their own stories. Sessions focus on identifying strengths people already have and using those strengths to address current problems. Conversations tend to be practical and direct, with attention to communication habits and patterns that affect relationships.
Guilt and shame are listed among her focus areas, and she supports people who want to understand those feelings and how they shape behavior. She also works with issues such as forgiveness, isolation, social anxiety, and finding purpose. She aims to break down bigger problems into manageable steps people can try between sessions.
Delashawn emphasizes small, achievable changes rather than grand promises. She checks in on what is working and what is not, and adjusts plans as needed. The emphasis is on clear goals, steady progress, and building confidence to handle day-to-day challenges.
For someone deciding whether to try therapy, she recommends a simple first step: a short matching questionnaire and a first session to see how the therapist-client fit feels. That initial meeting is used to set aims and outline what a few sessions might focus on.
How evidence-based methods guide online sessions
Many therapists use evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and practicing new behaviors. Cognitive-style approaches help people notice patterns of thought that worsen anxiety, shame, or low mood and teach concrete ways to test and reframe those thoughts. Behavioral strategies focus on small actions - such as graded exposure for social anxiety or step-by-step activities to rebuild confidence - that make daily life easier to manage.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods fit their situation, goals, and preferences. Early sessions are used to see what helps and then adjust the plan together so it fits the person's life and priorities.
The original biography did not specify which session formats are offered. Confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Phone sessions can work when video is difficult, and video can help with reading nonverbal cues; the therapist and client can decide what format suits each step of the work.
