About Latanya
Latanya Richardson is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker practicing in Michigan with ten years of experience. She works with people facing family stress, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and she draws on several therapeutic approaches to support daily coping and relationships.
Her background includes crisis response and direct intervention work in the community. That experience shapes how she assesses risk, plans for safety, and responds when people are in immediate distress. She has collaborated with local law enforcement on assessments and crisis prevention efforts.
Latanya uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral methods to help people name and express difficult emotions. She also uses mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to build awareness and small steps toward change. In sessions she focuses on practical skills and clearer communication rather than long explanations.
She often addresses blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and issues that come with aging and end-of-life planning. Other areas she helps with include mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, life purpose, money and financial stress, and coping after disasters.
Her work emphasizes concrete planning and short-term interventions when appropriate, while also making room to process deeper patterns. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the online therapy options button.
How Latanya integrates EFT and online sessions
Latanya draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and express hard-to-identify emotions and look at how those emotions affect relationships. EFT can be useful when patterns of emotion and interaction feel stuck and people want clearer ways to communicate their needs.She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience without judgment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and practice small behavioral changes. These approaches work together to address both feelings and practical steps for coping.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. Latanya will work together with the client to decide which approaches suit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a CBT skill for a few sessions or using EFT techniques when emotions are central.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals adapt session length and focus to what a client needs, and Latanya's approach emphasizes practical planning alongside emotional work.
