Latanya Buckham, LMHC

Latanya Buckham is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She offers straightforward support and practical tools to make day-to-day life feel more manageable. Her approach is calm and direct, aimed at helping people take the next small step toward change.

Latanya creates a space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings without judgment. She focuses on building trust and listening first, then working together to set clear goals. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-focused so progress can be tracked in simple ways.

She uses techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people change difficult thought patterns and build coping skills. She also brings narrative therapy ideas to help people reframe painful experiences and the Gottman Method for relationship communication when that fits the concern.

Latanya has five years of professional experience and holds a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential. That background guides her practical, skills-based sessions and her attention to each person’s cultural context.

People often come for help with attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, body image, codependency, or forgiveness work. She also supports those dealing with mood disorders, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, and other related concerns.

Her style is supportive and action-oriented. She helps people try small changes, notice what works, and adjust the plan as needed.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Latanya commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns while practicing new coping skills. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify personal values and accept difficult feelings while taking committed action toward what matters. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness when strong emotions disrupt daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they will try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual feedback. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking.

These options aim to make it easier to schedule regular sessions and keep momentum between meetings with a licensed professional.
