Background and approach
Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when someone needs help finding motivation for change. Trauma-focused work guides conversations when past hurt affects current functioning. Latisha favors a warm, interactive style.
Sessions focus on clear goals, skill building, and real-life problem solving rather than long explanations. She encourages clients to try concrete strategies between sessions and then review how those experiments went. Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in mental health counseling.
The profile lists her New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential and her New Jersey Licensed Professional Counselor credential. She draws on those clinical studies to shape practical, step-by-step plans for coping and growth. Many people come for help with relationships, parenting concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, anger, and career stress.
Latisha also supports those dealing with adoption and foster care issues, blended family stress, caregiver strain, and other family-related challenges.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Latisha uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with practical habits that improve mood and daily functioning. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing day-to-day stress.She also draws on motivational interviewing to help clients find their own reasons for change. That method focuses on building motivation and setting realistic steps when someone feels stuck or uncertain.
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Latisha works with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in session. She adjusts plans as progress is made and as needs shift.
Online therapy with her can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, and flexible contact between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
