About LaTresa
LaTresa Hart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience in social services in Indiana. She works with adults and adolescents on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use right away to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.
Hart draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change reactions to triggers. She also uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and solution-focused methods to set short-term goals. Her work often includes addressing trauma, addiction, grief, and challenges around family and adoption issues.
In sessions she practices a direct, interactive style that encourages skill building. Conversations will include clear strategies for handling impulses, communicating under stress, and managing resentment that builds over time. Practical exercises and short homework tasks are commonly used between meetings.
Her background includes two decades working with school-aged youth, adolescents, and adults across community and social service settings. That experience informs how she approaches family of origin problems, parenting strain, and domestic violence histories without assuming one-size-fits-all answers.
People who come for help with anger can expect concrete tools for calming strong reactions, improving communication, and rebuilding damaged trust. Hart helps clients set realistic, measurable goals and tracks progress over time. She offers sessions in English and works from Indiana.
Approaches used in online sessions
LaTresa Hart commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change thought patterns that fuel anger and anxiety, and it gives practical exercises to reframe reactions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of physical and emotional signals.She also draws on motivational interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about change. That approach focuses on clarifying goals and building internal motivation rather than lecturing. Hart treats choosing the right method as a collaborative step and will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs and goals.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find exercises and worksheets translate well to remote sessions, and the therapist will suggest practical ways to practice skills between meetings.
