About Latia
Latia Maxwell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in Florida and an LICSW licensed in Alabama, with 16 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, self esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Her practice uses practical strategies to address everyday problems. She speaks English and practices in Florida.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations about current problems and what is getting in the way of feeling better. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, testing small changes, and building skills for handling stress and mood. The work often includes goal-setting and short experiments between sessions.
Latia draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clarify values and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the pace patient-directed. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy inform quick, practical steps when motivation or immediate problem-solving is needed.
Over her career she has supported people dealing with abandonment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image concerns, communication problems, isolation, and life purpose questions. She also has experience related to aging and geriatric issues, blended family challenges, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and mood disorders.
Latia frames treatment as collaborative. She works with each person to set clear goals and choose approaches that fit their situation. To begin, people follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How CBT and ACT translate to online sessions
Latia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and habits, then try small experiments to change them. CBT sessions focus on practical skills such as thought records, behavioral activation, and step-by-step problem solving for anxiety and mood issues.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take value-driven actions even when feelings are difficult. Client-Centered Therapy guides how she listens and adjusts the pace to match each person’s needs, keeping the client’s goals central.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will review goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit the problem and the person. That collaborative choice can change over time as progress or obstacles become clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel and allowing appointments during work breaks or between other obligations. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce time spent arranging childcare or commuting, which helps people keep treatment consistent.
