About Latasha

With 11 years of clinical experience listed, Latasha centers sessions on clear goals formed after an initial assessment.
Background and approach
She tailors each plan so progress can be tracked over time. The approach is collaborative - the client’s priorities guide the work. Her work draws on several practical methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered techniques.
These tools are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try new coping skills, and build emotional awareness. Mindfulness and Emotionally-Focused ideas also inform how she addresses relationships and trauma reactions. Latasha emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every conversation.
She aims to keep sessions direct and understandable, avoiding jargon so parents and busy adults can follow along. She also focuses on time-efficient steps when a clear goal is desired. Based in Louisiana, Latasha works with English-speaking clients and offers multiple online session formats.
She encourages people to acknowledge the courage it takes to begin and supports clients as they move forward at their own pace.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and when life changes require new choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-driven change.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a lunch break and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text sessions allow short check-ins, written reflections, and flexible timing when a brief touchpoint is preferred. These options make it easier to schedule regular work on goals without long commutes.
