About Latricia

Dr. Latricia Blain practices with a client-centered approach that prioritizes listening and collaboration. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - and brings eight years of experience to work on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, and career questions.

Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood as they consider change. She creates a calm space where people can talk through what matters most to them.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps and small experiments clients can try between meetings. That might include identifying unhelpful thought patterns, practicing new communication skills, or setting achievable goals for everyday life. Dr.

Blain uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotions feel intense, and motivational interviewing to find what will truly motivate change. Solution-focused methods help keep work grounded in realistic, short-term goals.

Her background spans eight years in clinical work across Louisiana and Texas, and she holds LPC licensure in both states. She also supports issues such as grief and hospice and end-of-life counseling, caregiver stress, family of origin concerns, money and financial stress, post-traumatic stress, and questions of life purpose and self-love. Sessions are offered in English and Dr.

Blain is available to work with clients in Texas and internationally. She aims to help people gain tools they can use right away and to build a clearer path forward.

Practical therapy methods adapted for online care

Client-centered therapy is a central part of her practice and means sessions begin with listening closely to what matters most to the client. This approach helps build trust and sets the agenda based on the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce stress and anxiety. It is useful for practical problems like worry, low mood, and confidence issues.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past efforts, and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. If emotions run high, she may add DBT-informed skills for grounding and emotion regulation. Together the client and therapist check what helps and adjust the plan over time.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match busy lives and different comfort levels. These formats make it easier to meet without travel and to use therapy tools between meetings. Licensed professionals can still teach skills, set practical homework, and track progress through these remote options.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
