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 clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, and other mood concerns. Sessions are practical and focused on skills people can use between appointments.
Latisha trained with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in mental health counseling. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide short- and longer-term work. In sessions she talks through thoughts and behaviors, helps identify patterns, and practices alternative responses in real situations.
Her approach is interactive. Clients practice new ways of responding to anger, manage impulses, and work on communication skills that reduce recurring conflict. She also addresses caregiver stress, blended family pressures, adoption and foster care concerns, and challenges linked to mood disorders and ADHD.
When trauma is part of the picture, she applies trauma-informed methods to help people make sense of upsetting memories and reduce their impact on daily life. For those needing clearer goals, she uses motivational interviewing to build commitment and realistic next steps.
People looking to start work with Latisha are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Latisha commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her clinical work. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process upsetting experiences so those memories interfere less with daily life and relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, current challenges, and past experiences to decide together which methods to try first and when to combine techniques. Clients are involved in setting concrete steps and reviewing progress as work continues.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time so people can meet during lunch breaks or between commitments. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so skills practice can happen between meetings.
