About Latia

Latia Maxwell is a licensed social worker with 16 years of clinical experience who draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people address stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She combines practical skill-building with compassionate listening to tailor each plan to a person's particular situation and goals.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes respect and sensitivity while focusing on concrete steps that support motivation, confidence, and improved coping. Throughout her career she has worked with a broad range of concerns including life transitions, communication problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, grief and end-of-life issues, and mood-related difficulties.

She integrates approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused methods to match interventions to what a client needs in the moment. Licensed in both Florida and Alabama, she offers collaborative care that balances thoughtful reflection with action-oriented strategies.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Latia Maxwell uses several evidence-informed approaches adapted for remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and learning practical skills to change behaviors and mood, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values, accept difficult emotions, and take committed action toward meaningful goals, supporting work with life transitions and coping challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaborative understanding, offering a space where the therapist follows the client's lead to build insight and self-directed growth.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapt interventions over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit consistent therapeutic work into daily life while allowing licensed professionals to offer structured skill-building, problem-solving, and supportive conversation across distances.
