Approaches and Online Therapy Options
Latisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT involves practicing new ways of thinking and small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily functioning.She also uses Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative approach that helps people clarify their goals and find internal motivation for change. This method is useful for making lifestyle shifts, addressing procrastination, or supporting steps toward recovery.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Latisha will discuss goals, preferences, and the specific challenges someone brings, then recommend and adapt methods to fit their needs. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setting is preferred, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps with ongoing prompts and brief reflections between sessions. These formats help fit therapy into busy schedules and different life demands.
