Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to clarify values and create small, meaningful changes. Motivational interviewing supports people who want to build or regain momentum. Latia adapts each plan to the person in front of her.
That might mean short-term solution-focused steps for immediate relief. It could also mean a longer path toward greater emotional balance and life purpose. She pays attention to background factors like chronic illness, caregiving stress, and life transitions.
People often come for help with relationship communication, body image concerns, feelings of abandonment or emptiness, or struggles tied to aging and end-of-life matters. Latia also works with mood disorders and situations involving isolation or major life changes. She holds licenses in Florida and Alabama - LCSW and LICSW - and provides care in English.
Her style is respectful and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people build skills they can use every day.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to you and taking small steps that align with those values. It helps when worry or avoidance keeps you from living how you want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches straightforward skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on your experience, with the therapist following your lead and offering nonjudgmental support.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and try methods that match your needs and preferences. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what helps you make progress and feel more capable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and needs. Video is useful when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can fit into a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let you check in between sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges when that suits your routine. These options aim to make consistent care more practical for everyday life.
