About Latina
Latina Johnson is a Michigan-licensed clinical social worker with six years of professional experience supporting people through a range of emotional and behavioral challenges. As an LCSW she brings practical, evidence-informed techniques to work on addictions, sleep problems, motivation and confidence, self-esteem, and navigating major life transitions.
Background and approach
Her background also includes helping clients manage symptoms related to anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and parenting stresses. Latina emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental therapeutic atmosphere where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and build concrete skills.
She often draws from cognitive behavioral therapy alongside attachment-focused and person-centered practices to help people develop healthier patterns and cope with compassion fatigue, stress, and relationship-related struggles such as abandonment, blended family difficulties, and fatherhood issues. Latina also addresses concerns like substance use, hoarding, isolation, and challenges tied to guilt, shame, or forgiveness.
Clients who choose Latina can expect a collaborative process that balances empathy with practical strategies. She encourages those taking the first steps toward therapy and works to tailor the approach to each person’s needs, aiming to foster resilience, clearer priorities, and more effective coping strategies.
Integrating Therapeutic Approaches into Online Care
Latina frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and addiction-related behaviors. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and interactions, which can help with issues such as abandonment, relationship strain, and feelings of isolation.
Figuring out which approach fits best is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each person to clarify goals, explore preferences, and adapt techniques so the work aligns with practical needs and personal values rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.
Online sessions make this collaborative work more accessible through flexible formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Those options allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels while maintaining continuity of care across locations and time zones with licensed professionals.
