About Latisha
Latisha Sterling is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with five years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, parenting pressures, and life changes. She also supports people managing ADHD, bipolar mood issues, anger, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, and compassion fatigue.
Latisha earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. She uses straightforward conversations and practical techniques to address harmful thinking and unhelpful patterns. Sessions focus on real problems people bring - work stress, relationship friction, parenting strain, or the aftermath of trauma.
Her approaches include cognitive behavioral methods and motivational interviewing, plus trauma-focused work when past events are affecting daily life. That means she helps identify thinking traps, practices clearer communication, and works through difficult memories with gradual, step-by-step methods. Clients do concrete skill practice between sessions when that will help.
Latisha aims to be respectful and responsive in sessions. She listens for what matters most and works collaboratively to set goals. Her style is interactive, focused on skills and practical next steps rather than long lectures.
She practices in New Jersey and offers services in English. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Latisha uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often includes setting small, manageable goals and practicing new skills between sessions, which can fit well into weekly online check-ins.She also uses motivational interviewing to support people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. That approach focuses on clarifying personal goals and building motivation through conversation rather than pressure.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try methods that match those needs. That collaborative process lets the client test what helps and adjust course as needed.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking.

Some formats also use less bandwidth or allow phone-only check-ins for brief updates; ask about available formats when you schedule.
