LaTrena Marshall, LPC

LaTrena Marshall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, career questions, and life changes. She writes simply and listens closely to understand what matters to each person. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking so clients can move forward day by day.

With eight years of clinical experience, LaTrena draws on several approaches to match what a person needs. She centers conversations on the client's goals and uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thought patterns. She also uses client-centered methods to create space for people to tell their story and be heard.

LaTrena emphasizes building coping skills and problem-solving tools that can be used outside sessions. She works collaboratively, helping clients set small, achievable goals and tracking progress between meetings. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas inform short-term plans when a quick reset is needed.

Her background includes school and private practice settings and a history supervising other counselors. She notes experience with teen issues and adolescent development but describes her work broadly across a range of concerns. She holds National Certified Counselor status and maintains a focus on practical outcomes.

In sessions clients can expect clear talk, step-by-step skill building, and check-ins on what is working. LaTrena aims to make therapy a straightforward, useful process for people ready to address the next chapter in their lives.

How LaTrena Brings Therapy Online with Practical Approaches

LaTrena uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that feed worry and low mood. CBT focuses on small experiments and skill practice so thoughts and behaviors shift over time. She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize listening and reflecting back what matters most to the client, creating room for clear goals and steady progress.

Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort. LaTrena will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to short-term needs or longer-term growth.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues; phone calls can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when a person prefers typing to talking. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, or family demands and support steady follow-through on goals.
