How her approaches translate to online care
Latisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that improve mood and functioning. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and work-related problems. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person's own reasons for change and builds motivation through respectful conversation; this can help with goal setting, career shifts, and stages of change.Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to address the effects of past harms and to teach coping skills for distressing memories and reactions. She adapts these methods to be collaborative, checking in about what feels useful and adjusting plans based on each person's goals and preferences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about what they want to accomplish and which techniques feel most helpful. Together they set goals and try methods that fit the client's needs and pace.
