About Latrice
Latrice Willis is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois with 13 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and parenting challenges. She also addresses concerns like addiction, attention difficulties, bipolar mood shifts, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered Therapy. Sessions typically focus on problem solving, building coping skills, and clarifying values and goals.
Latrice often works with people navigating major life changes. That includes separation or divorce, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and midlife transitions. She also helps with communication problems, commitment or infidelity issues, and money or career stress.
In sessions she helps clients name patterns that keep them stuck and then practices new ways of responding. Work may include identifying unhelpful thoughts, learning emotion-regulation skills, and trying small behavior changes between visits. She uses motivational interviewing when people feel stuck about change.
She brings attention to cultural and life-context factors in the work. People can expect direct, steady support aimed at clearer decision making and more manageable day-to-day functioning. For those carrying guilt or shame, she helps untangle those feelings and link them to current choices and values.
How her approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then pick actions that match their values. It is useful when guilt or shame makes moving forward feel impossible. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with clients about which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan together as progress is made. The process is collaborative and focuses on what helps the person live more in line with their values. Confirm session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific online options. Ask about options that fit your day-to-day life. Many people appreciate online work because it can be easier to fit sessions into a work day, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when needed. Talk with the therapist about session length and pacing to match your schedule and energy.Areas of expertise
