About LaTasha

She has worked extensively with concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, ADHD, addictions, and mood disorders, as well as issues tied to cancer and post-traumatic stress. Her background includes addressing relationship and family dynamics, parenting, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and young adult issues.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to change behaviors and manage symptoms like anxiety and depression; it focuses on present-day thoughts and actions and teaches concrete coping skills. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that supports people who feel ambivalent about change by exploring values and strengthening motivation to take next steps; it is often useful for addiction, behavior change, and goal-setting. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on understanding and processing traumatic experiences while building safety and coping skills, and it can be adapted to address post-traumatic stress and abuse-related concerns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past, and together they will shape a plan that fits practical needs and therapeutic aims. Adjustments are made as progress unfolds so methods remain relevant and effective for each person.
Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life transitions. These formats can support ongoing skill practice, timely check-ins, and consistent momentum toward clients' goals while allowing licensed professionals to adapt session style to each individual's communication preference.
