Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Latasha integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship that helps clients explore their feelings and identify their own goals, making it useful for issues like self-esteem, relationship struggles, and coping with life changes. CBT is a structured approach that helps people recognize and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.
She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - techniques when clients need skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for mood instability, impulsivity, and chronic relationship difficulties. Choosing the right approach is collaborative - Latasha works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter interactions can happen via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and other responsibilities while accessing licensed professionals and therapists who can tailor treatment to individual circumstances.
