About Laticha
Laticha Perez is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with more than 21 years in mental health work. She focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth.
Laticha emphasizes partnership and clear goals in therapy. She uses straightforward conversations to help people name what feels off and decide what to try next.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and measurable progress rather than long lectures. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change when it isn’t working. Laticha blends client-centered work with motivational interviewing to help people find their reasons for change and keep moving forward.
She also draws on trauma-focused methods when past harm is affecting daily life. This mix supports both coping skills and deeper healing. Her background includes many years in crisis intervention settings, which informs a calm, steady way of responding when emotions run high.
People often come for help with panic attacks, mood shifts, trouble managing stress, or the fallout from traumatic experiences. Laticha frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set realistic steps, track progress, and adjust the plan as life changes.
Sessions happen in a conversational style aimed at making skills useful between meetings.
How Laticha’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy means conversations are shaped around the person sitting in the virtual room. The therapist listens, reflects what she hears, and helps people notice their own strengths, which can be useful for anxiety and mood concerns.Motivational Interviewing focuses on finding what matters to the client and building motivation for change. It uses short, targeted conversations to uncover reasons for shifting patterns like avoidance or low activity, and to plan small, doable steps.
Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past harm keeps affecting daily life. It involves careful pacing, techniques to manage intense emotions, and work on reconnecting with goals and safety in everyday routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laticha treats the choice of method as a team decision. She will discuss options, try approaches that fit a person’s goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online sessions offer flexibility across formats. Video calls can mirror in-person sessions when face-to-face conversation helps. Phone meetings are useful when internet bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
