About Lateka
Lateka Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She offers a straightforward, caring presence for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and other life challenges. Lateka writes and speaks plainly so parents and busy adults can quickly understand what therapy will feel like.
She uses a whole-person perspective that pays attention to thoughts, feelings, and daily habits. In sessions she blends client-centered talking with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
Background and approach
That combination helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try small, concrete changes. Lateka often helps people who are coping with loss, strong anger, low mood, relationship strain, or the ongoing demands of caregiving. She also supports those navigating life changes, career stress, and concerns related to attention and focus such as ADHD.
Her work includes addressing substance use, guilt, shame, and multicultural issues. In the therapy room she aims to create a calm, respectful tone. Conversations are led by the client’s priorities and paced to fit each person.
Practical skills, short experiments, and steady encouragement are common parts of her approach. She practices in Alabama and offers sessions that fit today’s schedules. Lateka frames progress as a series of small steps and helps people set realistic goals they can maintain between sessions.
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and priorities and creates space to talk through what matters most. It helps people feel heard and decide what changes they want to try.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help when strong reactions, ongoing conflict, or self-critical thoughts get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose and adjust techniques based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Those choices can shift as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different days and routines. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and skill practice, phone calls are a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat can fit quick check-ins, and text messaging helps with short updates or reminders. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives.
