People who choose Letitia can expect a warm, nonjudgmental tone and a focus on realistic goals. She invites clients to start small, test changes, and build on progress over time.

How CBT and Trauma-Focused Work Translate to Online Care

Letitia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. CBT focuses on short-term, goal-oriented work such as breaking large problems into small steps, testing new reactions, and building daily routines that reduce stress and symptoms.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past abuse or deep losses affect current life. This approach helps people safely process difficult memories, reduce trauma-driven reactions, and learn coping strategies so flashbacks and avoidance interfere less with daily activities.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in life, and then try methods that fit. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked, so the plan evolves with the client's needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face interaction and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates, ongoing coach-style support, or flexible check-ins between longer sessions. These options increase accessibility and make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other day-to-day demands.
