Latisha aims to empower people to notice progress, improve daily functioning, and develop clearer perspectives on personal goals and relationships.

How Latisha’s Approaches Work Online



Latisha uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, develop practical coping skills, and set achievable behavioral goals; this approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. She also incorporates motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and to strengthen personal motivation when clients face ambivalence about new behaviors or goals. Trauma-focused therapy is used to address past traumatic experiences by creating safety, processing difficult memories, and building resilience when trauma is a central concern.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy and Latisha treats that as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods over time so treatment stays aligned with what helps most. Clients can expect shared decision-making about techniques and priorities throughout the work.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to access support from home. These formats allow for regular check-ins, skills practice between sessions, and responsiveness to changing needs while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship with a licensed professional.
