Latanya Richardson, LMSW

Latanya Richardson is an LMSW who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She emphasizes listening first and then helping people make small, workable changes. Her approach is calm and direct, aimed at easing stress and improving daily functioning.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and express feelings that get stuck.

Richardson has about 10 years of experience working in community and crisis settings across Michigan. That background includes crisis response, assessments, and coordinating with local partners to help people stay safe. Those experiences shape how she plans for real-life challenges and follow-through.

People commonly bring concerns such as family problems, parenting stress, depression, trauma, and midlife transitions. Richardson also works with issues like caregiver stress, grief and end-of-life topics, money worries, and questions about life purpose. She aims to make sessions practical and focused on immediate next steps.

When someone starts, Richardson listens to what matters most and then builds a plan together. Sessions emphasize clear skills, short-term goals, and steady progress.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says matters most. It helps people feel heard and involved in shaping their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for mood problems and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with strong emotions so they stop getting in the way of daily life and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what feels most useful and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day. Online work can reduce travel time and help maintain momentum between appointments. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking so you know what to expect.
