About Latrice

Latrice Willis brings a practical, evidence-informed approach to therapy that emphasizes skill-building and personal insight.

Background and approach

With 13 years of experience as an LCSW, she integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and client-centered techniques to address depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Her focus includes stress management, coping with change, parenting and caregiver strain, addictions, and mood-related concerns such as bipolar disorder and ADHD.

She creates an affirming, culturally aware environment where clients can explore communication difficulties, codependency, infidelity, and family challenges while working toward clearer goals. Latrice helps clients develop practical strategies for self-esteem, anger management, financial stress, and career-related pressures, using motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods when appropriate.

Her practice in Illinois emphasizes collaborative goal setting, resilience building, and actionable tools that support long-term well-being. Clients can expect a practitioner who balances warmth with structured interventions, tailoring sessions to individual needs and preferences.

Latrice aims to help people reconnect with purpose, navigate midlife and major life changes, and move forward from feelings of isolation, guilt, or emptiness through focused, goal-oriented work.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Many clients benefit from structured methods that teach practical skills, and Latrice commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety and depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another frequent element of her work, helping clients clarify values and practice mindful acceptance to move toward meaningful goals. Client-centered therapy provides a supportive, empathic foundation that emphasizes the client’s perspective and personal pace while other techniques are introduced.

Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess goals, preferences, and responses to different strategies, then adapt the balance of skill-building, acceptance work, and client-centered support over time to best meet evolving needs.

Online therapy offers flexible options that fit into busy lives, including video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent work on coping skills, values-guided action, and communication practice without travel, and they allow sessions to be scheduled around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
