About LeQuandra

LeQuandra Hale-Banks is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She also offers support around career and executive coaching, motivation, and confidence building.

She uses a Narrative-informed approach to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. That often means looking at how past events shape present feelings, and then finding new ways to describe strengths and possibilities.

Background and approach

She pairs that with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without being ruled by them. LeQuandra draws on client-centered methods to create an open, nonjudgmental space. Sessions are aimed at hearing what matters to each person and following the client’s pace.

She also uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when they fit the client’s goals. Much of her work addresses relationship struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. She also helps with intimacy-related concerns, sleeping problems, anger, ADHD, and chronic illness or pain.

She will talk through communication problems, attachment and abandonment worries, and family of origin issues. LeQuandra practices in Tennessee as an LCSW. She offers sessions in English and is available to work with international clients.

Her approach is straightforward: listen first, name the problem, and then try small, practical changes together.

Online session options

How Narrative and ACT Guide Online Work

LeQuandra uses Narrative approaches to help people reframe the stories that shape their feelings. Narrative work encourages people to name their difficulties and notice strengths that have been overlooked. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting those experiences block valued action; it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. She also uses client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on what matters most to each person. Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative - the therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust the approach over time if something isn’t working. Online formats make ongoing work easier to fit into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and skill practice, while phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when you need a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging offer a way to process thoughts in the moment or keep therapy going between sessions. These options aim to provide flexibility so people can engage consistently despite busy schedules or travel.
