About Latia
Latia Maxwell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Florida with 16 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Latia speaks English and works with adults who want practical ways to manage feelings that get in the way of daily life.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people notice patterns that keep problems going. That might mean looking at thoughts that fuel anger or anxiety, trying small behavior changes, or finding what matters enough to motivate new choices. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded rather than full of jargon.
Latia draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered listening. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods when they fit the client's goals. The work often mixes noticing emotions, testing new responses, and setting short-term, achievable steps.
Her background includes long experience helping people with relationship stressors, caregiving strain, chronic illness, body image, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with grief, end-of-life concerns, isolation, and mood issues. Latia pays attention to how anger and resentment affect work and close relationships.
People who choose her can expect to talk about what already works for them and what gets in the way. Together they plan small experiments to try between sessions and check what changes. She asks direct questions and gives straightforward feedback to help people track progress and adjust the plan as needed.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Latia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that align with their values. That approach is useful for anger that keeps recurring or for low motivation when someone wants more meaning in life.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and action oriented, which helps with anxiety, depressed mood, and managing reactive responses in stressful situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Latia treats the choice of method as a collaboration. She will help a client weigh goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try approaches and adjust them based on what helps.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel time. It can also make sessions easier to attend during caregiving or work commitments. Speak with the matching process to learn how sessions are arranged and what formats are offered.
