About Latanya
Latanya Buckham is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who focuses on supporting people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression.
Background and approach
She brings five years of clinical experience and aims to help clients understand patterns that maintain distress while building practical skills for daily life. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and openness, creating a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored.
Latanya integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, and she draws on acceptance and commitment and narrative strategies to help clients clarify values and reframe personal stories. She also uses elements of dialectical skills and relationship-focused tools when relevant.
Clients can expect a supportive clinician who balances evidence-informed tools with attention to personal context, including family of origin, attachment dynamics, multicultural factors, and issues such as codependency, forgiveness, or body image. Latanya works to empower people taking the often-difficult step toward change and supports them in building goals that feel meaningful and achievable.
Online approaches and flexible care
Latanya commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing mood and anxiety. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and is often used for stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which emphasizes clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful actions. ACT can be helpful when clients want to build a life guided by what matters to them rather than by avoidance. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills appear in her work as well, offering concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with clients to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in session, adjusting methods over time as needs change. This ensures the plan stays personally relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from home or work. These options support ongoing practice of skills between sessions and allow for consistent continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
