How Latisha Uses CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Work Online
Latisha uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress because it breaks problems into simple steps to practice.She also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify their own goals and find internal motivation for change. That approach is helpful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps for parenting, career shifts, or managing health behaviors.
Trauma-focused methods are used when past events continue to affect mood, relationships, or daily functioning. These approaches are gentle and goal-driven, aiming to reduce the ways trauma keeps someone from moving forward.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try methods that fit your style, and adapt plans based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay useful and practical.
