Latonia Grissom-Blue Pollard

Latonia Grissom-Blue Pollard is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan. She brings 18 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, and attention difficulties. Her style is warm and collaborative and she works to make each person feel heard.

She approaches therapy as a partnership. Sessions focus on practical skills and understanding what drives current struggles. Latonia adapts her work to each person's needs rather than using one fixed method.

Her background includes work in private practice, telehealth, and school-based settings. That variety means she has experience supporting teens, adolescents, and adults through common life stresses and mental health challenges. She aims to help people build emotional resilience and clearer coping strategies.

Latonia uses an integrative, evidence-based framework and selects techniques that fit the person in front of her. She addresses concerns such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, panic and trauma, as well as related issues like impulsivity, communication problems, isolation, and family conflict. The goal is to create changes that carry over into daily life.

She values cultural responsiveness and respect. People who choose her often want practical tools, steady support, and a thoughtful plan for moving forward. To get started, follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.

Evidence-based approaches and how they translate online

Latonia draws on several evidence-based techniques to guide her work. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and building new coping skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Mindfulness-based practices teach simple attention and breathing skills that help with stress, impulsivity, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, strengths, and daily life. That means trying methods, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow more frequent brief check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills between sessions in their everyday setting. Latonia's experience in telehealth and other clinical settings supports a practical, flexible approach to working remotely, with a focus on useful tools and steady progress.
