About LaTresa
LaTresa Hart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 20 years of experience in social services. She helps people who are facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and trauma related to physical or emotional abuse. LaTresa also works with concerns like grief, anger, addiction, ADHD, and problems connected to career or money.
LaTresa uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Mindfulness strategies and motivational interviewing are also part of her approach for people working on motivation and stress management.
Clients can expect interactive sessions that look at strengths and small steps forward. Sessions include talking through specific problems, practicing new skills, and checking whether a different response feels better. The work often focuses on daily habits, communication patterns, and decision points that shape mood and relationships.
LaTresa has experience with adoption and foster care issues, family of origin concerns, and communication or control problems that affect relationships. She also addresses complicated themes such as guilt, shame, forgiveness, and multicultural stressors including prejudice and discrimination.
Practical matters such as organizing daily routines, managing impulsivity, and clarifying life purpose are commonly covered. People seeking help for mood disorders, compassion fatigue, or parenting stress will find a straightforward, skills-based style aimed at clear next steps.
How CBT and related methods work in online sessions
LaTresa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify automatic thoughts and the actions that follow. CBT sessions focus on noticing specific thinking patterns, testing small behavior changes, and tracking what helps reduce symptoms such as anxiety or low mood.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing exercises that reduce reactivity and improve focus. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change by exploring values and building motivation in short, practical steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to decide which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can be adjusted over time based on what is helpful.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow check-ins during breaks, or reduce travel time. Some approaches lend themselves to shorter focused check-ins, while others use longer sessions for skill practice; these details can be arranged when scheduling.
