About Latonia

Dr. Latonia Jennings is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who integrates cognitive behavioral principles with client-centered care to help people address a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on practical, skills-focused strategies to reduce stress and anxiety, improve relationships, and support coping through grief, depression, and addiction-related concerns. Her approach emphasizes learning useful tools that can be applied beyond individual sessions so clients leave with greater confidence and practical skills for the future.

Jennings adapts her methods to the goals each person brings, blending elements of mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques when they align with treatment aims. She works with issues including intimacy and communication problems, parenting and fatherhood concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, and the fallout from divorce, infidelity, or domestic violence.

With three years of documented clinical experience and a professional practice licensed in Florida, she guides clients toward clearer thinking, healthier patterns, and actionable steps for change. Her style values collaboration and education, viewing clients as the experts on their lives while offering structured guidance and coping strategies.

This balance of practical skill building and empathic support informs her work across career, family, and personal transitions.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership where the therapist listens closely and helps clients explore their own goals; this approach supports personal growth and is useful for relationship and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and practicing concrete skills to change them, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, and addiction-related behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist collaborates with each client to select and adjust methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences so that sessions feel relevant and useful rather than one-size-fits-all. This process helps shape a plan that combines evidence-informed techniques and the client’s own priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life transitions. These formats let clients practice skills between sessions and receive timely support, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor pacing and tools to each person's situation.
