About Latisha
Latisha Mcmurray is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of experience working in Texas. She helps people who are coping with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, work-related stress, low self-esteem, major life transitions, and other emotional challenges.
Latisha uses practical methods to help people notice patterns in thinking and behavior. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered techniques, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused approaches. Sessions focus on clear goals and doable steps rather than long explanations.
In sessions she listens and helps people identify thoughts and habits that get in the way. Then she works with them to test new responses, build coping skills, and practice different ways of handling stress and conflict. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, addictions, parenting strain, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and control issues.
Her background includes a master’s degree in social work and licensure to practice in Texas as an LCSW. Over the past eight years she has worked with adults from varied backgrounds on concrete problems and life transitions.
People who prefer structured, goal-oriented work may find her style useful. Sessions aim to clarify what the client wants to change, set small goals, and track progress with practical tools and conversational check-ins.
How Latisha uses structured approaches in online sessions
Latisha commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered techniques in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, low mood, and problematic habits. Client-centered methods prioritize the client’s perspective and goals, with the therapist helping to reflect and clarify what matters most to the person.She also uses motivational interviewing to support change when someone feels stuck. That method helps people explore their reasons for change and strengthen their own motivation through guided conversation. Together these approaches fit well for people who want concrete steps, practice between sessions, and measurable progress.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to choose methods that suit the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or make it simpler to have a scheduled conversation when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt tasks and worksheets for virtual sessions to keep the work practical and action-oriented.
