About Latisha
Latisha Sterling greets people with a calm, practical approach. She focuses on helping individuals who feel overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, or life changes. Latisha keeps sessions straightforward and goal-focused so people can see small, usable steps forward.
Latisha is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC and a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC. She trained with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in mental health counseling.
Background and approach
She has five years of clinical experience working in and around New Jersey. In sessions she blends tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing with trauma-focused work when needed. That means she helps people spot unhelpful thought patterns, set realistic goals, and practice different behaviors between sessions.
She emphasizes practical skills for managing anger, improving communication, and coping with mood shifts. Her style is warm, interactive, and respectful. Latisha often uses short exercises in session and suggests doable practice tasks for the week.
She explains techniques in plain terms and checks in to adjust the plan as progress happens. Many people come to her for help with parenting strain, relationship and family conflict, adoption and foster care concerns, attention and impulse control struggles, mood disorders, and trauma recovery. She also supports those dealing with career stress, compassion fatigue, or the aftermath of domestic violence.
Latisha aims to help people build steady routines and clearer thinking so daily life feels more manageable.

Approaches Latisha lists

Therapeutic approaches through online care
Latisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is useful for anxiety, anger management, and mood challenges because it breaks problems into small, changeable steps.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters most and find internal motivation for change. This approach works well when someone feels stuck or unsure about making practical adjustments.
Choosing the right method is a shared process. Latisha discusses goals, preferences, and symptom patterns with each person and then recommends approaches tailored to those needs. She adjusts strategies as work progresses so the plan stays relevant.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief ongoing contact and homework prompts. These options offer flexibility in how and when people make progress.
