Remote care using integrative therapeutic tools
Latonia offers online sessions that combine structured skill work with reflective, exploratory therapy. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy she helps clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior and practice concrete strategies to manage symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is used when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness skills are needed, with clear, teachable techniques that can be practiced between meetings.In addition to these approaches, Latonia integrates mindfulness practices and Motivational Interviewing to support awareness of values and to strengthen motivation for change. She works collaboratively, tailoring which methods are emphasized based on each person’s goals and preferences and inviting client input throughout the process.
Telehealth options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different communication needs. These remote formats are used to provide continuity of care and flexible ways to engage in the therapeutic partnership.
