Latonia Jennings

Latonia Jennings is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Florida who holds a master’s degree in psychology and certification as an education specialist. She has three years of experience providing therapy services and brings a range of professional experience from work in child welfare, couples counseling, military veterans issues, substance abuse, the criminal justice system, domestic violence, and bereavement.

Her clinical practice has focused on grief and loss, couples counseling, domestic violence, and broader life challenges. She approaches social work with a balance of compassion and practicality, aiming to be both supportive and outcome-focused while helping clients develop knowledge and skills they can use beyond individual sessions.

Latonia views people as the experts on their own needs and believes many individuals have an innate capacity to overcome difficulties with some guidance. She often uses the image of a co-pilot to describe her role on the therapeutic journey, helping clients navigate difficult turns and find a way forward. Her favorite guiding line is: “a bend in the road is not the end of the road unless you don’t negotiate the turn.”

Clinically, she uses an eclectic approach, frequently drawing on solution-focused techniques and cognitive behavioral strategies. She selects methods based on clients’ goals, explains the chosen approach, and adjusts as needed to support the best possible outcome. She appreciates the opportunity to work with people ready to make change and wishes everyone well in finding the right help for their journey.
