How Latisha’s Approaches Work Online
Latisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused methods to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new thinking and actions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles with focus, and daily worries. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding how past hurts affect current behavior and helps build safer ways of coping and relating.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Latisha will listen to your goals and try strategies together to see what fits. She often starts with practical CBT techniques and brings in trauma-focused tools when past events are getting in the way of progress. The plan changes as needs and goals evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit work, school, or parenting schedules.
