How these approaches fit into online therapy

Latisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and to try small, practical changes. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style she uses to support people weighing change. It helps clarify goals, identify personal reasons for change, and build momentum without pressure.

Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to address the effects of past traumatic events by processing painful memories and building coping skills. It aims to reduce the impact of trauma symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to figure out which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted as people progress and priorities shift.

Session options should be confirmed before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Discussing practical logistics during the first contact helps match session length and timing to everyday life.
