About Latonia
Dr. Latonia Jennings is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She uses practical, person-centered methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, depression, and parenting challenges.
Her style is straightforward and skills-focused so parents can leave sessions with new tools to try at home. She holds an EdD and brings three years of clinical practice to her work as a therapist. Sessions are aimed at clear goals and real-world skills rather than long, abstract conversations.
Background and approach
Dr. Jennings often blends client-centered listening with focused techniques to address immediate concerns. Her background includes work across areas related to addiction, domestic violence, and family problems.
This informs how she talks about safety, communication, and setting boundaries in relationships. She also supports people coping with career stress, life changes, and issues around intimacy and commitment. Dr.
Jennings commonly uses evidence-based tools such as cognitive behavioral strategies and motivational interviewing. She teaches simple exercises for mood, thought patterns, and behavior that parents can practice between sessions. Narrative approaches may be used to reframe difficult experiences and help people make sense of loss or change.
Overall, her approach aims to combine practical skill building with respectful listening. Parents and individuals seeking direct, action-oriented support for family and parenting-related concerns may find her approach useful.
Practical approaches for online family and parenting support
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns back, and helps people identify their own solutions; this is useful when a parent or partner needs space to talk and be heard.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches simple steps to change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try techniques that fit those needs. Adjustments are made as progress is reviewed so the work stays focused and relevant.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule and to use skills learned in real time. The variety of formats lets people pick what feels most comfortable for talking through sensitive topics and practicing new tools.
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.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
