About Latina

Latina Johnson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Michigan with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for parents and people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and addiction. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at making the first step feel less daunting for a worried parent reading on a phone.

She creates a calm space where people can say what they are really feeling without judgment.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize clear tools and steps clients can use between meetings. Latina draws on common-sense techniques and evidence-informed methods to address everyday struggles like low self-esteem, changes in family life, and caregiver stress. Her background includes training in approaches that look at relationships and emotions, and she adapts those methods to fit each person.

She helps clients notice patterns, shift unhelpful thoughts, and practice new ways of coping. Latina also supports people facing complex issues such as bipolar disorder, drug and alcohol addiction, and domestic violence concerns. Latina speaks English and works with clients both within Michigan and internationally.

She offers a range of session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. The focus is on practical progress and building skills parents and individuals can use day to day. Parents who want down-to-earth help with stress, parenting challenges, or mood and substance concerns will find an experienced professional who prioritizes clear, usable strategies.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. Latina uses it to help people understand patterns in family life and parenting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It gives concrete skills for sleep problems, anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Latina collaborates with each client to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try techniques, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents and people with limited time. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different comfort levels and schedules. These formats make it easier to practice skills between sessions and stay connected to care when life gets hectic.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
