About Latricia

Latricia Freeman is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting struggles, anger, depression, and addictions. She also supports concerns tied to LGBT issues, grief, intimacy, self-esteem, career strain, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Latricia writes plainly and listens first to understand each person's story and strengths.

She uses a straightforward, person-centered style in sessions. That means she follows the client's lead while offering practical tools when they are helpful.

Background and approach

She blends solution-focused techniques and cognitive behavioral ideas to tackle specific patterns and daily struggles. Latricia also draws on motivational interviewing to explore readiness for change and on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences affect current relationships. Sessions balance short-term problem solving with deeper reflection when clients want that work.

Over more than a decade of practice she has supported people through family challenges, blended household transitions, caregiver stress, and substance-related problems. She pays attention to communication habits, codependency, boundaries, and commitment concerns as part of everyday family life. Her approach aims to make therapy approachable and useful.

She helps clients break issues into manageable steps, practice new responses, and build on what already works. For many people that means having clearer communication, calmer reactions, and a plan for next steps.

How her therapy approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following what matters to the person in front of the therapist. In practice this means sessions start with the client's concerns and priorities, and the therapist reflects and helps shape goals that feel meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It introduces simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and daily stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist begins by asking about goals, history, and what has helped before. From there she suggests approaches to try and checks in often so the plan can change if something does not fit.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase convenience. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules, caregiving routines, or varied work hours. Many people find online formats helpful for keeping momentum between sessions and practicing skills in real life.

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.
