About Latanya
Latanya Buckham is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She draws on five years of clinical experience in New York to offer practical, steady support for people at difficult moments. Her approach is calm and direct, aimed at making conversation feel manageable and clear when things feel overwhelming.
She focuses on creating an open space where clients can say what they’re feeling without worry or judgment.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a pace the client chooses. Latanya listens closely and helps people sort through emotions and patterns that get in the way of everyday life. Latanya uses a mix of therapies that match each person’s needs.
She often uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and next steps. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for strong emotion management and communication support. Conversations can include stories from a person’s past to understand repeated patterns, and practical exercises to build new habits.
Latanya aims to combine insight with small, sustainable changes that fit into daily routines. Her style is supportive and goal-focused. She encourages realistic steps toward better mood, clearer boundaries, and healthier relationships.
People who want straightforward guidance and steady support may find her approach helpful.
Evidence-informed approaches for online work
Latanya commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that keep anxiety or low mood going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, values-based steps even when difficult feelings remain.She also uses skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when needed to teach emotion regulation and effective communication. These tools aim to reduce intense reactions, improve problem-solving, and make everyday interactions easier to manage.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Latanya works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. She listens to preferences and adjusts techniques over time so work in sessions feels relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues for a more personal conversation, phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth needs, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule while still using the same therapeutic tools.
