Daronda Parker-Lathan, LCSW

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Daronda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common way she works is by breaking big problems into smaller, manageable steps and teaching coping strategies that reduce daily stress and anxiety. This helps people who feel overwhelmed by panic, worry, or intense emotions. She also offers trauma-informed support that helps people process difficult memories at a pace they can tolerate. That work emphasizes safety, pacing, and building skills to manage strong reactions. For relationship and family-related concerns she helps clients practice clearer communication and set boundaries that feel realistic for their situation. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, and then try methods that fit those needs. Clients and therapist check in and adjust the plan as progress is made. Online therapy offers flexibility for different lives and schedules. Video calls let people use visual cues when that helps progress. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, journaling progress, or staying connected between sessions. These options make it easier to keep up with therapy while managing work, caregiving, or health constraints.
