Background and approach
She draws on five years of counseling experience to guide practical steps toward clearer thinking and healthier routines. In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help clients find their own reasons to change.
Trauma-Focused Therapy informs her work when people are healing from past hurt. Her approach is direct but compassionate. She listens, reflects, and offers exercises clients can try between sessions.
The aim is to build skills for managing mood swings, anger, or the anxiety that interrupts daily life. Latisha provides online work from New Jersey and offers different formats to fit schedules. She helps with parenting stress, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, career strain, ADHD-related challenges, grief, and patterns of isolation or impulsivity.
Her goal is to help people move toward clearer choices and steadier days.
Online approaches for practical change and healing
Latisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood shifts.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own motivation for change. This approach is helpful when someone feels stuck or unsure about making next steps. Trauma-Focused Therapy guides work when past events still affect daily life, with care taken to move at a paced, manageable rate.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. Latisha will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels comfortable. Together they pick methods and try them out, adjusting as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people read facial cues and do exercises together. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching-style notes, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or caregiving duties.
