Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Latisha Sterling integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing with trauma-focused techniques to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and relationship strain by teaching practical coping strategies and problem-solving skills. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that supports clients in exploring and strengthening their own motivation to change, especially useful for parenting adjustments, substance use concerns, and life transitions. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on processing traumatic experiences and reducing their ongoing impact, offering strategies to manage symptoms and rebuild a sense of safety and agency.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Latisha works collaboratively with each person to determine what best matches their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review options, try techniques, and adapt the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Latisha is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access that fits busy schedules and different comfort levels. These modalities allow clients to connect from home, coordinate care around family and work obligations, and maintain continuity during life changes while working with a licensed professional.
