About Latisha
Latisha Sterling is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with five years of experience. She offers help for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, parenting, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and related struggles. Latisha also notes work with adoption and foster care issues and blended family issues.
Latisha trained with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s in mental health counseling. She uses straightforward, skills-focused methods so conversations lead to workable changes. Sessions often look at patterns of thinking and behavior and practice new ways of responding to hard situations.
Her listed approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Those methods are used to help people manage anxiety, rebuild after traumatic events, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and find motivation to make changes. Latisha combines talking, goal-setting, and practical exercises that can be used between sessions.
People contact her for life transitions, parenting stress, communication problems, and mood or impulse concerns. She also lists experience with compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, and mood disorders. Conversations address concrete problems and everyday coping rather than abstract theory.
Sessions are described as interactive and respectful. To get started a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session through the site. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time.
Approaches used online and what they do
Latisha lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy as core approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the impact of traumatic experiences so daily functioning can improve.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will discuss goals, needs, and preferences and agree on methods together. That collaborative process may include trying different techniques and adjusting plans based on what helps most.
Confirm the exact session options before booking because formats are not detailed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and trauma-focused techniques for virtual sessions so practical skills and homework remain useful between meetings.
