Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello! My name is Latonia Jennings and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I also have a MA in Psychology and am certified as an Education Specialist. I have worked as a professional Social Worker for over 20 years in various fields including child welfare, couples counseling, military veterans issues, substance abuse, criminal justice, domestic violence, and bereavement. As a clinician for approximately 6 years, most of my work has been with grief and loss, couples counseling, domestic violence, and life issues. I believe that good clinical social work is not only compassionate and encouraging, helpful and goal oriented, but also educational. You should not leave a clinical experience just feeling better about your current issue. You should leave with confidence that you have gained new knowledge and skills to help you with future challenges as well.
I also believe that individuals are their own experts in what they need. My experience as a clinician has taught me that people have an innate ability to overcome life’s challenges on their own; they just need a little help sometimes figuring out how. My favorite quote is: a bend in the road is not the end of the road unless you don’t negotiate the turn. You might be feeling like you are at the end of the road right now. I see myself as a co-pilot on your journey of self helping you to navigate the tough terrain and negotiate the turns in order to get back on track.
I consider myself to be quite eclectic in my approach to clinical social work. I typically incorporate elements of solution focused therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy into my work with clients, as I have found these two approaches, or a combination thereof, to be most effective with a broad range of mental health concerns. Depending on the goals you identify and my professional expertise, I will select the best approach for you, educate you on the approach, and make adjustments as needed to ensure the best possible outcome for you.
Thank you for taking the time to review this profile. I hope I have an opportunity to work with you but if not, I wish you the best of luck finding the right clinician to help you in your journey. Be well.

Many people ask whether virtual therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or managing life changes, online therapy has been shown to perform on par with traditional in-person sessions.
A major benefit is flexibility – individuals can meet with a therapist in the format that best fits their life, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to maintain consistent care around work, family, and other obligations.
Licensed professionals provide these services, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they need a different fit. For many people facing everyday mental health challenges, online therapy offers an effective and adaptable way to get support.
