About LaTrina

LaTrina Craig is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She welcomes conversations about anger, addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, career stress, and ADHD. Her tone is direct and compassionate to make hard conversations easier to start.

LaTrina uses a supportive, interactive style that centers the person in the room. She listens first, then works with each client to set simple, realistic goals.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical changes that fit everyday life and on building skills to manage strong emotions. Her training includes cognitive behavioral approaches and psychodynamic ideas, along with client-centered methods that emphasize respect and empathy. She adapts techniques to each person’s needs rather than following one fixed plan.

This flexible mix is used for issues such as trauma, abuse, and relationship patterns. Over nine years of practice have shaped her focus on clear communication and steady problem solving. She also works with concerns like adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and family of origin patterns.

People come for help with boundaries, control issues, and coping with life changes. LaTrina aims to empower people to make manageable changes and regain a sense of control. She encourages active collaboration so clients leave with tools to use between sessions.

Her approach is practical, patient, and rooted in respect.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and builds a safe space to name problems and set personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It uses straightforward tools to change unhelpful thinking and to teach coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to patterns that repeat over time, often coming from family of origin and past relationships. It helps uncover why certain reactions keep showing up and opens the way to new choices.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That choice can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to follow up between sessions, and to access care from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same therapeutic approaches as in-person work, while adjusting how tools and exercises are shared to fit each format.

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.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.
