Background and approach

Her practice centers on evidence-informed strategies rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and she combines these with trauma-focused techniques to address a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and trauma-related symptoms. She approaches each client with empathy and respect, adapting interventions to fit individual needs and preferences.

Letitia has supported people dealing with relationship and intimacy challenges, mood and attention difficulties, coping with life changes, and stress-related problems including compassion fatigue.

CBT and Trauma-Informed Care Delivered Online

Letitia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach emphasizes practical skills such as problem solving, behavioral experiments, and coping techniques that can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past traumatic experiences contribute to current distress, offering structured ways to process traumatic memories and develop safety-focused coping strategies.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to clarify goals, assess needs, and tailor interventions so that treatment feels practical and relevant. This collaborative planning helps ensure techniques match the client’s preferences and the issues they want to address.

Online therapy provides flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to connect from different locations. These formats support continuity of care for people in Michigan and international clients, offering consistent opportunities to practice new skills, track progress, and receive support between sessions.
