Evidence-Informed Methods for Online Support
Latisha draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress management, and many everyday challenges. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support ambivalence and build internal motivation for change, which can be helpful for goal setting and behavior change work related to career, coping, or substance concerns.Selecting the right therapeutic approach is collaborative; the therapist will work with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they evaluate what helps most in session and adapt techniques over time to match progress and changing priorities.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing work, family, or busy schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try brief check-ins between appointments, and access therapy from home or another convenient location while working with a licensed professional.
