About Latina
Latina Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Michigan with six years of professional experience. She works with adults facing addictions, sleep problems, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety, and stress. She also helps people dealing with parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and the everyday pressures that come with life changes.
Her sessions focus on clear conversation about what is happening now. She aims to make it possible to speak about difficult feelings without fear of judgment. People bring issues like shame, guilt, isolation, or family conflict, and she helps them name what feels most urgent.
Latina uses a mix of practical, evidence-based tools and relationship-focused work. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current patterns.
In-session the work often looks like setting small goals, practicing new ways of responding, and noticing patterns that keep problems repeating. Skills from dialectical behavior therapy can be introduced for emotion regulation when stress or intense feelings get in the way. Emotionally-focused approaches are used when people want to understand relational patterns that fuel guilt or shame.
Her style is direct but supportive, with attention to concrete steps between sessions. She welcomes questions about what therapy will involve and encourages people to decide one step at a time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape patterns in emotion and behavior. It can help when past losses or unstable bonds contribute to guilt, shame, or repeated conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete skills to notice and change thinking that fuels anxiety, low mood, or shame-driven behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, provides tools for managing intense emotion and improving distress tolerance when stress becomes overwhelming.Finding the right mix of approaches is something she does with each person. She will discuss goals and preferences, try a few techniques, and adjust what she uses based on what helps most. That collaborative process guides whether more skills training or more relational work makes sense.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins on a work break, or appointments that avoid travel time. They also let people use approaches like CBT worksheets and DBT skills practice in the moment, which can help translate learning into everyday life.
