About Latia

Latia Maxwell is a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of experience. She focuses on common problems like stress, anxiety, anger, low self esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Latia aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and encouraging.

Latia adapts sessions to fit individual needs. She listens first, then collaborates on a plan that feels realistic.

She also addresses communication problems, blended family challenges, and issues that arise around aging and end-of-life care.

Her clinical approach uses practical methods drawn from acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral techniques. She brings motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies when helpful to build small, achievable changes. Sessions aim to identify useful steps, test them out, and adjust as needed.

Latia draws on years of practice across different settings. That experience helps her guide people through transitions and times of feeling stuck. She keeps language simple and focuses on what will help day to day.

How Latia’s approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and navigating major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like worry and depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes active listening and empathy to help people feel heard and to build confidence in making changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Latia discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods over time. She aims to create a plan that fits what the person wants to try, so therapy stays practical and collaborative.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work and family, shorter check-ins when days are busy, and the ability to meet without travel time. The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm current session options before booking.
