About LaTasha

LaTasha Cowan is a licensed professional counselor with 22 years of experience practicing in Mississippi. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and other difficult life moments. She builds a welcoming space so people can talk about hard feelings without judgment.

Taking the first step toward change is often the hardest part, and she aims to make that step easier. Her background includes work with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, cancer-related distress, and young adult issues.

Background and approach

She uses practical methods to address symptoms and daily challenges rather than relying on jargon. Sessions focus on clear goals and doable skills that fit a person’s life and schedule. LaTasha draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are affecting current functioning. These approaches guide conversations and homework in simple, concrete ways. People who prefer straightforward guidance and a calm, respectful tone often find her approach helpful.

She explains options and works together with each person to set priorities. For parents and those dealing with family and parenting concerns, she brings practical strategies to improve communication and daily routines. Sessions are offered in English and are available through several online formats.

LaTasha assists people in finding a manageable path forward, one step at a time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

LaTasha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. In short exercises and at-home practice, CBT helps reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders by focusing on thinking and action patterns.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events continue to affect daily life. This approach involves careful, paced work to process difficult memories and build coping skills so triggers feel more manageable over time.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels comfortable. Together they choose methods and adjust them as needed to match each person’s situation and pace.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. These formats make it easier to schedule appointments around family life, work, and medical care while keeping therapy consistent. The range of options supports people who need flexibility and steady support during stressful times.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
