My integrative approach uses techniques from evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
My therapeutic style is warm, authentic, and interactive. I create a comfortable and non-judgmental working environment for my clients, using empathy, honesty, and a sense of humor. I approach each individual treatment collaboratively - establishing treatment goals that are tailored specifically to the individual client's needs. My clients gain understanding and insight that help alleviate symptoms and create positive life changes. Because the way we think affects the way we feel, I help my clients learn how to identify and challenge negative thinking. These practical skills enable them to maintain the level of progress they make during therapy.

Cognitive Behavioral Coaching focuses on practical strategies to create real, lasting change by aligning thoughts, behaviors, and goals.
Congratulations on taking the first step towards making some life changes. I understand because I've been there. Sometimes we all need a little support in achieving our goals. That’s just fine because life can be overwhelming. Often, we just need a bit of guidance finding the answers that are already inside of us and that’s when coaching can be helpful. The coaching process works well in any area of your life you want to develop or change. The hardest part is taking the first step and I work with men and women who do just that.

We all use mindfulness based approaches, and somatic experiencing in addition to CBT and other traditional approaches.
Are you grappling with intense emotions or painful memories, navigating life transitions, or seeking a space for open conversation and self-discovery? Do you experience anxiety, tension, or overwhelm, or wonder why you feel irritable, tearful, or unable to enjoy your usual activities? In times of stress, people often withdraw, avoid, or adopt other unhealthy habits, only to find it makes them feel worse. You probably long for more effective ways to cope, handle your emotions, and work towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Drawing on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solutions-Focused Therapy, Strengths-Based practice, and Play Therapy, I work with you to identify what is already working, shift the patterns that are not, and build the resilience.
Life is hard — and most of us keep waiting for it to get easier on its own. But real, lasting change only happens when we build the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual skills to meet life differently. Therapy is where that transformation begins. It is where you learn, practice, and grow, with someone in your corner who truly sees you, honors your story, and refuses to ask you to leave any part of yourself at the door. I am Dr. LaNail R. Plummer — licensed therapist, founder and CEO of Onyx Therapy Group, author, and someone who has spent over 20 years creating space for people the mental health world has too often overlooked.
