About Latanya

Latanya Richardson uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered methods to help people reconnect with their feelings and relationships. She is an LMSW with ten years of practice in mental health care and crisis response. Her style is direct and practical, aimed at clear steps people can use right away.

Her work centers on family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and issues that come up during midlife or when facing end-of-life decisions.

Background and approach

Latanya draws on approaches that help people name emotions, change unhelpful thinking, and build everyday coping skills. In sessions she combines emotionally focused listening with client-centered support and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she helps people notice patterns in feelings and thoughts, try small changes, and see what helps.

Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolbox when helpful. Her background includes crisis intervention and community response work in Michigan. That experience informs how she assesses risk, develops practical safety steps, and works toward stabilization when people are in distress.

The practice aims to balance immediate needs with longer-term healing. People who choose Latanya can expect a collaborative approach that focuses on what matters most to them. She uses clear language, practical strategies, and emotion-focused work to help people move forward at their own pace.

Online support

How Emotion-Focused and Practical Therapies Work Online

Latanya commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and express core feelings that affect relationships and personal wellbeing. This approach aims to clarify emotions and create new ways of responding that reduce painful patterns.

She also uses client-centered methods, which put the person's experience at the center of sessions and prioritize listening, empathy, and the client's own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into more helpful routines, which can reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Latanya will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful when visual connection matters, phone calls can fit into a work break or use less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around daily life and get consistent support from a licensed professional.
