About Latia
Latia Maxwell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Florida with 16 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and the challenge of coping with life changes. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
Her practice emphasizes straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that maintain distress and testing small changes that can relieve pressure. She uses a range of familiar methods, including cognitive behavioral skills to shift unhelpful thoughts and solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals.
Latia also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify what matters to them and make choices that align with those values. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels stuck or uncertain about change, helping them weigh reasons to try something different. Client-centered work keeps the sessions grounded in the person's experience and preferences.
Over her career she has helped people managing caregiver roles, facing aging or end-of-life concerns, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters. She invites clear, respectful dialogue and works with each person to develop a plan that fits their life and needs.
To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small, value-based actions. It is useful when someone feels directionless after a life change or is wrestling with ongoing worry and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. CBT provides concrete skills for anxiety, low mood, and managing anger by testing new ways of thinking and behaving. Motivational Interviewing is a brief, conversational method that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and find internal reasons to move forward.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to the client's situation, goals, and preferences and discuss which methods could suit them best. They adjust the plan as sessions progress so the approach remains practical and relevant.
Confirm the current session options before booking because specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. Some formats can also reduce the need to be on camera or lower bandwidth demands. Talk with the therapist about which arrangement would best fit your daily routine and needs.
