About Latrice
Latrice Willis is a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, practicing in Illinois with 13 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, parenting strain, addictions, anger, and life transitions. Her focus also includes ADHD, bipolar challenges, self-esteem, and career concerns.
She uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people spot patterns that drive anger and frustration. Sessions look at what triggers reactions, what follows, and how to try different responses. Work may include skills practice, values clarification, and problem-focused steps.
Latrice often combines acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive-behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and actions. Dialectical behavior strategies and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolkit when they fit a person's goals. Client-centered principles guide the pace and focus of sessions.
Clients come for help with blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment concerns, and communication problems. She also addresses divorce and separation challenges, infidelity, loneliness, and money-related stress. These topics are approached practically, with attention to everyday choices and routines.
Her work aims to help people reduce impulsive reactions, manage resentment, and rebuild trust in relationships. Sessions include concrete coping techniques and planning for real situations. People are encouraged to test small changes between meetings and notice what works.
Therapeutic approaches used and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small committed actions toward those values. It helps with chronic anger that comes from feeling stuck or from avoidance of difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical techniques to test and shift unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel frustration and impulsive reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills are useful for managing intense anger or sudden outbursts and for improving relationship interactions. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which approaches match their goals and daily demands. That shared decision-making helps keep sessions focused on useful steps rather than abstract theory. Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Those practical benefits help people practice skills between meetings and bring real situations into session for problem-solving.Areas of expertise
