Latasha Hicks, LCSW

Latasha Hicks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana. She focuses on clear, practical work to help people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, trauma and relationship strain. Sessions aim toward specific goals so progress can be seen and measured over time.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered work. That means conversations include learning how thoughts affect feelings and practicing small changes that make daily life easier. Mindfulness and emotionally-focused ideas are woven in when they fit the person’s needs.

Clients can expect a collaborative style. Goals are set together after an initial assessment, and the therapy plan follows those goals. The focus is on time-efficient strategies that address the problems named by the client.

Hicks has 11 years of experience as an LCSW and brings a respectful, compassionate manner to sessions. She adapts language and pacing to each person so discussions feel approachable rather than clinical. She emphasizes listening and practical steps as part of the healing process.

People often come for help with trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, or persistent anxiety and depression. The work combines skill-building, emotion-focused conversation, and acceptance-based tools to help someone move toward the life they want.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions use that same step-by-step work to build coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. Exercises, thought records, and small behavioral experiments can be completed between sessions to reinforce progress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and committed action alongside acceptance of difficult feelings. In teletherapy this looks like practicing mindful awareness, clarifying what matters most, and setting doable steps toward those values. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and adapts pacing and language to each person's needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and how a person responds. That collaborative process can shift over time as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text messaging is useful for brief check-ins, ongoing homework support, or when typing is preferred. These options offer flexibility to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or busy days.
