About Latanya
Latanya Richardson is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) who focuses on practical, person-centered support. She uses clear, direct conversation and simple tools to help people face family stress, trauma, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. Her approach aims to make therapy feel useful from the first session.
She draws on about 10 years of experience responding to crises and working with people in distress. That history includes conducting assessments, offering direct interventions, and helping develop safety and crisis plans. Those experiences shape how she responds when urgent concerns arise.
Therapy sessions combine client-centered methods with structured techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and express painful feelings that affect relationships.
Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are also part of her work. These approaches aim to increase moment-to-moment awareness and strengthen motivation for change. She adapts methods to each person’s needs rather than following a single script.
Latanya has worked in community crisis response and collaborated with local law enforcement on safety planning. That background supports her work with issues such as post-traumatic stress, coping after disasters, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns. People in Michigan who want straightforward, compassionate help may find her style practical and focused on real-life steps.
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The therapist offers empathy and mirrors concerns so people feel heard and can clarify what they most want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and actions that keep problems going. It uses exercises and practical strategies that people can try between meetings to reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods that match those needs. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time if something isn’t working or different priorities emerge.
Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online visits can make it easier to attend regular appointments around work, caregiving, or other commitments. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current online options before booking so you know what to expect. Licensed professionals aim to make each session useful and focused on steps that fit daily routines.
