About Latrice
Latrice Willis is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who uses practical, skills-based therapy to help people cope with anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship strain. She focuses on clear goals and small steps so clients can see progress between sessions. Her style is direct but warm, aimed at helping people regain calm and confidence.
Willis has 13 years of clinical experience offering support for parenting challenges, caregiver stress, and blended family issues.
Background and approach
She also helps with mood challenges such as bipolar and depression, attention concerns like ADHD, and problems tied to work, money, or life transitions. Sessions often include tools people can use right away to manage strong feelings and improve communication. Her approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered techniques to match each person’s needs.
That means working on thoughts and behavior patterns, clarifying values, and shaping a collaborative plan for change. Motivational interviewing and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are available when the situation calls for them. Willis aims to create an affirming setting that respects cultural background and personal identity.
She emphasizes practical coping skills, building routines, and repairing relationship patterns. Many clients find concrete strategies for managing anxiety, addressing codependency, and navigating separation or infidelity concerns. She practices in Illinois and conducts sessions in English.
People can expect a steady, supportive process that focuses on manageable changes and clearer day-to-day functioning.
How chosen approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people focus on what matters most and take small actions toward those values, even when anxiety or doubt shows up. It is useful for stress, life changes, and ongoing worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns such as avoidance or rumination. That approach is often used for anxiety, depressive symptoms, and habit change.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try techniques that fit the person’s needs. Together they review what helps most and adjust the plan over time so strategies match daily life and real challenges.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy routine. Video calls are good for in-depth conversations and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or if someone wants written reminders of skills and steps between sessions.
