Latrice Willis, LCSW

Latrice Willis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Illinois who focuses on helping people move through major life transitions. She draws on practical therapy methods to address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and midlife concerns.

She keeps sessions straightforward and goal oriented. Clients work on clearer communication, better coping skills, and ways to manage mood or impulsivity. Latrice uses approaches that emphasize values, present-moment choices, and practical problem solving.

Her background includes 13 years of clinical experience in settings that served diverse communities. That experience informs how she responds to blended family issues, caregiver stress, and the strain of parenting while juggling work and life. She also supports people dealing with addictions, bipolar symptoms, ADHD-related struggles, and career uncertainty.

Therapy often centers on identifying what matters to each person and building small, achievable routines. She helps clients address guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Sessions include work on boundaries, codependency, and repairing communication after infidelity or separation.

Latrice favors practical tools from evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She also uses motivational interviewing and client-centered methods to keep the work collaborative and respectful.

Sessions are conducted in English and reflect a culturally aware perspective. People who want to begin can expect clear steps toward steadier routines, more reliable coping skills, and a renewed sense of direction.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people name their values and take small actions that match those values. It can help with decisions, life purpose questions, and coping when emotions feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Motivational Interviewing is a brief, collaborative method that helps people find their own reasons to change and move toward goals when ambivalence is present.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods seem most helpful based on goals, preferences, and current challenges. Sessions are collaborative and may blend techniques so the plan fits the person's life and pace.

Confirm current session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. It also lets people continue work during major life transitions or when coordinating caregiving and work commitments. Speak with the therapist during intake to clarify which session formats are offered and what will suit practical needs.
