About Daronda

Daronda Parker-Lathan is a licensed clinical social worker with 26 years of professional experience who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and a wide range of life challenges including ADHD.

Background and approach

She approaches each person with sensitivity, respect, and compassion, adapting conversations and plans to fit the specific needs and circumstances presented. Her practice emphasizes practical support and empowerment so clients can take steps toward clearer priorities and improved coping.

Drawing on decades of clinical work in Louisiana, she helps clients navigate relationship strains, grief, intimacy and self-esteem concerns, and longer-term issues such as addictions, bipolar symptoms, and caregiver stress. She also attends to less commonly discussed concerns like abandonment, attachment patterns, and challenges related to adoption and foster care.

The goal is collaborative problem solving that honors individual strengths while addressing barriers to feeling more stable and purposeful. Parker-Lathan frames therapy as a partnership in which clients bring their experience and she brings clinical skills and steady guidance.

Progress is paced to match readiness for change, and treatment plans are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Daronda Parker-Lathan uses well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build coping skills and address patterns that interfere with daily functioning. One commonly used approach focuses on practical, skills-based strategies that teach stress and emotion regulation techniques to reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach emphasizes processing and understanding traumatic experiences and their effects so clients can reduce symptoms and improve relationships and self-image.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjusts methods as needed to find the best fit for progress over time.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to schedule consistent sessions, fit therapy into a busy life, and continue care when in-person options are limited. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions across these formats to support ongoing skill building and problem solving.
