About Latesha

Latesha Edmerson welcomes people seeking support for stress, anxiety, mood concerns, addiction-related struggles, self-esteem, and attention difficulties including ADHD. She emphasizes a strengths-based view, inviting clients to draw on their own knowledge and resources as part of the change process.

Background and approach

With 23 years of professional experience and credentials as an MD and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), she brings long-term practice in helping clients manage concentration, memory, motivation, and confidence challenges.

Her work also addresses related life areas such as chronic pain or illness, communication problems, feelings of guilt or shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose and finances. Latesha frames therapy as a collaborative effort that starts with one courageous step into care; she encourages new clients by recognizing the effort it takes to begin.

Based in Maryland, she offers a compassionate, practical approach aimed at building coping skills and greater self-understanding while honoring each person as the expert of their own story.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care



Latesha commonly uses proven, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety, depression, attention and motivation concerns. Cognitive techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing more balanced, realistic thoughts to reduce distress and improve decision making. Behavioral strategies emphasize building routines, skills, and small actionable steps that support concentration, motivation, and recovery from addictive behaviors.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each client to explore what methods feel practical and effective given their goals, challenges, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as progress is made.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with communication. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from Maryland without needing to commute to an office.
