About Laticia
Laticia Bickham is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 22 years of experience and is licensed to practice in the District of Columbia. She works with people facing relationship strain, family concerns, parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and questions about career and identity. Laticia also lists concerns such as abandonment, blended family issues, infidelity, forgiveness, and guilt and shame among her focus areas.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide sessions. In practical terms she listens for strengths and helps people build small steps toward clearer goals. Sessions can include talking through patterns, trying different ways of thinking, and setting realistic behavioral steps to test what helps.
Her approach emphasizes direct, usable strategies for everyday problems. For relationship or family concerns she works on communication skills, managing anger, and setting boundaries. For mood and anxiety issues she uses cognitive techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and practical actions that can reduce overwhelm.
People seeking help for guilt or shame can expect conversations that look at where those feelings come from and what they mean for daily choices. She gives room to name difficult feelings and then focuses on specific actions and perspectives that may lessen their power.
Laticia practices with attention to cultural differences and life transitions, including midlife changes and multicultural concerns. She accepts international clients, and sessions are conducted in English. To begin, follow the platform steps to match and schedule an initial appointment.
How Laticia uses established approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person's perspective. In practice this means the therapist reflects what the person says and helps them notice their own strengths and choices. It is useful when someone needs to sort through strong feelings about relationships or identity.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavioral changes to see what shifts mood or anxiety. This approach can help with guilt, shame, stress, and depressive symptoms.
Motivational Interviewing is a brief, goal-focused style that helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation for change. It works well when someone is uncertain about next steps in relationships, parenting, or career choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or combine methods based on goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Clients can expect this to be a practical conversation that adjusts as needed.
Session formats and scheduling are managed through the platform, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions to match your everyday routine and needs.
