About Laticia

Laticia Bickham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns along with relationship issues, anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. She aims to create a warm, open space where people can talk through hard moments and build practical skills.

Her tone is straightforward and encouraging, with an emphasis on small, achievable steps. She draws from Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize each person’s goals and perspective.

Background and approach

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that increase stress or anxiety. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques help clients set clear goals and make steady progress. Her background includes two decades helping people navigate divorce recovery, blended family challenges, and communication problems.

She also addresses issues like abandonment, infidelity, jealousy, guilt and shame, and isolation. Multicultural concerns and life purpose conversations are part of her work as well. Sessions tend to focus on practical tools and real-world strategies.

That can mean practicing new communication skills, learning techniques to manage anger, or building plans to reduce anxiety. She encourages clients to notice strengths they already have and to try small changes between sessions. Laticia works with clients across the District of Columbia and accepts international clients.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Her approach combines respect for each person’s experience with clear steps toward the goals they choose.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy places the person's goals and perspective at the center of every session. The therapist listens closely and reflects what is important, helping clients shape goals that feel right for them and build on their strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple skills for noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which tools to try first and will adjust methods based on how things are going. Sessions often combine listening with concrete exercises and homework that fit the client’s life and priorities.

Online therapy makes these methods easy to use from home or work. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions offer a flexible alternative, and live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins and ongoing planning. These options help people access consistent care while fitting therapy into busy schedules.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
