About LaDerida
LaDerida Stokes-Roberts is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people facing trauma, abuse, grief, low self-esteem, career challenges, and ADHD-related difficulties. She draws on 15 years of professional experience to support practical change. She emphasizes clients' strengths and respects each person's knowledge of their own life.
LaDerida works in a straightforward, collaborative way. She listens first, then helps set small goals you can try between sessions. Conversations focus on what feels most urgent, like managing stress at work, improving focus, or coping with loss.
Her approach mixes evidence-informed methods aimed at skills and problem solving. Sessions often include looking at thoughts and behaviors, building motivation for change, and creating short-term strategies to move forward. Trauma-related concerns are addressed with care and attention to safety and pacing.
Clients can expect clear steps and practical tools to use outside of sessions. The therapist emphasizes gradual progress and building confidence over time. She encourages people to notice what already works in their day-to-day life and to expand those strengths.
LaDerida invites people to take the first step when they are ready. She guides the process of identifying goals and deciding what to try next. Her style is direct, compassionate, and focused on workable strategies for everyday life.
How these approaches guide online work
LaDerida commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and helps people try new behaviors to feel better. CBT can be helpful for workplace stress, low self-esteem, and managing concentration problems.She also uses Motivational Interviewing, a conversational method that helps increase motivation and resolve mixed feelings about change. This approach can be useful for career shifts, improving focus, or taking steps after loss.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. Together they check what is helping and adjust the plan as needed.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Some people find shorter check-ins easier to manage around work, while others prefer longer sessions for deeper reflection. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking to make sure they fit your routine and needs.
