About Laticia
Laticia Bickham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience. She practices with clients licensed in the District of Columbia and focuses on relationship strain, depression, anxiety, parenting concerns, and issues common to young adults.
Bickham aims to help people identify practical next steps when they feel stuck. Sessions emphasize clear problem-solving and building skills for communication, anger management, and stress reduction. She uses straightforward tools and conversations rather than jargon so people can apply ideas outside the session.
Her background includes long-term work supporting post-divorce recovery and blended family challenges. She also addresses commitment worries, infidelity fallout, and the guilt and shame that can follow family conflict. Career stress, feelings of isolation, and questions about life purpose are also part of her caseload.
The therapist draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to the client. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice different behaviors. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are used when clients want short-term goal work or clearer direction.
Sessions are presented in plain language and geared toward achievable changes. She encourages small, concrete steps like communication practice, coping plans for anger, and experiments to reduce avoidance. People who feel behind after school or early career moves often find this practical focus helpful.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client, helping someone clarify values and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions into manageable steps and teaches practical experiments to change patterns like avoidance or unhelpful thinking. Motivational Interviewing helps when a client feels unsure about change by exploring mixed feelings and reinforcing personal reasons for moving forward.Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which approach or combination suits their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes checking progress and adjusting methods when something is not working.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel to an office. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while balancing school, work, and family obligations.
