How her approaches guide online work

Latisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing to help people make concrete changes. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and mood swings. Motivational Interviewing helps people find personal reasons to change and boosts motivation when they feel stuck.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting plans as needed.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use these benefits to help clients practice skills in real-life moments and follow up on progress between meetings.
