About Latesha
Latesha Edmerson greets people with a calm, direct approach. She encourages a practical first step for anyone feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or struggles with addiction and attention. Her style aims to build confidence and boost day-to-day functioning so small changes add up fast.
She holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - LCPC - with 23 years of professional experience in Maryland. She frames clients as experts on their own lives and looks for existing strengths to use in the work ahead.
How Latesha works
Latesha focuses on clear, doable goals rather than long lists of clinical jargon. Sessions typically center on problem-solving and skill building. Conversations cover coping with mood and anxiety, improving concentration and memory, and finding motivation in the midst of setbacks.
She also addresses related concerns such as chronic pain, relationship communication, money stress, and workplace strain. When addiction or attention challenges are present, she helps people set realistic steps and track progress over time. She works to reduce shame and build self-compassion while improving practical routines and support systems.
Latesha supports women and young adults with topics that include self-love, forgiveness, and life purpose. Her work includes attention to post-traumatic stress, mood disorders, and isolation, always returning to small, achievable actions that fit each person’s life.

Online support options
How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Many of Latesha's methods focus on practical skills you can use right away. One common approach teaches coping strategies for anxiety and depression, with tools for breathing, activity planning, and breaking tasks into manageable steps to reduce overwhelm. Another approach works on attention and motivation by building routines, improving concentration techniques, and setting small measurable goals to track progress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit your day-to-day life. If something isn't working, adjustments are made so the plan stays practical and relevant to your situation.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video lets you have a full face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility challenges while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
