About Latanya
Latanya Buckham helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or drained by relationships and past trauma. She works with concerns like low self-esteem, communication problems, and issues tied to family of origin. Latanya keeps language simple and direct so a worried parent can scan and understand quickly.
Latanya is a New York licensed mental health counselor. She brings five years of professional experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use between meetings.
How Latanya works
Sessions aim to make space for honest talk and to reduce shame around hard feelings. Her approach blends several therapy styles to match each person's needs. She may use cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and goals, and narrative methods to rewrite painful stories people tell about themselves.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to what the person is ready for. Latanya works to identify small, doable changes rather than overwhelm clients with big plans. She emphasizes coping skills, manageable behavior shifts, and clearer communication skills.
People can expect a straightforward style and steady support while they try new ways of handling stress, relationship strain, or mood struggles. The aim is clearer thinking, fewer intense reactions, and better emotional balance over time.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward a life they care about. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and choosing actions that match personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and relationship patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and sharpening interpersonal effectiveness in heated moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Latanya will discuss these options and decide together which methods fit the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process makes it easier to try techniques and adjust the plan over time based on what works.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and role-play, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be a shorter check-in or a way to work through immediate thoughts between sessions. These formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy days and different schedules.
