About Latisha

Latisha Sterling is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor who brings five years of clinical experience to her work. She helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, or changes in family life. Her straightforward manner aims to make beginning therapy less confusing for worried parents and busy adults.

She trained with a master of science in mental health counseling and holds both an LMHC and an LPC. In sessions she uses cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing alongside trauma-focused methods when past hurts are central to a person's struggles. Latisha favors an approachable, interactive style that asks questions and offers practical steps people can try between sessions.

Clients often come with concerns about depression, parenting challenges, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care issues, or complicated grief from loss and trauma. She also supports people navigating mood disorders, ADHD, impulsivity, and relationship or communication problems. The focus is on understanding what drives behaviors and testing small changes to improve daily life.

Her work includes addressing anger, control issues, guilt or shame, and caregiver stress. Sessions typically blend conversational reflection with skill-building tools for coping, mood management, and clearer communication. Latisha aims to help people regain perspective and move toward realistic, manageable goals.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Latisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that lead to different results. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and day-to-day coping strategies.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative way of talking that helps people find their own reasons to change. This method supports work on goals like adjusting mood, addressing substance use, or improving parenting routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a person's goals, try specific techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Confirm current online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow follow-up conversations without rearranging a whole day. It can also let people use phone or video choices that match their comfort level and bandwidth, and supports steady progress through regular check-ins and homework between sessions.
