About Laticia
Laticia Georgie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and substance use. She also addresses challenges related to parenting, eating and food issues, ADHD, anger, and coping with major life changes.
Before private practice, she worked in a range of clinical settings, which shaped a practical, people-focused approach. Sessions are grounded in respect for each person’s worth and strengths. She uses direct conversation, reflection, and goal-oriented techniques to help people identify next steps.
Her clinical toolkit includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, and motivational interviewing. These methods are used to address emotional patterns, unhelpful thinking, and motivation for change.
Laticia also focuses on caregiver stress, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and traumatic brain injury. She helps people talk through immediate concerns and make manageable plans for coping and change.
Her style centers on clear, practical work rather than jargon. People can expect straightforward conversation about what’s causing distress, what’s been tried, and what small steps might help. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How EFT and related approaches are used in online work
Laticia draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name strong emotions and the interaction patterns that keep them stuck. EFT focuses on understanding emotional responses and creating different ways to respond when old patterns repeat.She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and following the person’s lead to build clarity about what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and test small behavioral changes that can reduce distress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Laticia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative conversation helps shape whether sessions emphasize emotion-focused exploration, thinking-and-behavior work, or mindfulness and motivation strategies.
