About Laticia

Laticia Bickham is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who brings 22 years of clinical experience to her work with people facing relationship strain, family challenges, stress, anxiety, and depression.

Background and approach

She centers her practice on practical, evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and motivational approaches to help clients identify strengths and realistic steps forward. She cultivates an open, warm, and inviting atmosphere where clients are encouraged to explore communication, anger, self-esteem, and life-purpose concerns.

Laticia emphasizes post-divorce recovery, relationship skills, and anger management while also addressing issues like abandonment, blended family complications, commitment and infidelity struggles, and multicultural concerns. Her aim is to help clients locate solutions and build the skills needed to move past feelings of isolation, guilt, or shame.

Throughout her career she has worked to empower people to reach goals they once thought were out of reach, using a flexible mix of techniques tailored to each person. Laticia practices in the District of Columbia and accepts international clients, offering video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and preferences.

Approaches for Online Growth and Change

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting therapeutic relationship so clients feel heard and are able to explore their goals and values in a supportive way. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learn practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and improve coping across everyday situations. Motivational interviewing uses collaborative, goal-oriented conversations to strengthen a person’s own motivation for change and can be useful for addressing ambivalence about decisions or behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative exploration helps shape session focus and short-term strategies while remaining flexible to evolve over time.

Online sessions make it possible to access therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow clients to continue steady work on relationship issues, stress, anxiety, and other concerns from locations that fit their lives and obligations.
