About Latonia
Dr. Latonia Lewis is a Licensed Professional Counselor with Mental Health Service Provider designation in Tennessee. She helps adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or big life changes. Her approach is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping people understand what keeps them stuck and find practical steps forward.
Dr. Lewis describes her counseling style as warm, interactive, and honest. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Therapy sessions focus on recognizing unhelpful patterns, building coping skills, and making choices that support a better day-to-day life.
Her work is trauma-informed and person-centered, and she incorporates cognitive behavioral ideas, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies as needed. These methods are used to address issues like stress, caregiver strain, codependency, communication problems, substance use, and isolation.
When clients want it, faith and spirituality can be included in sessions. Dr. Lewis emphasizes pacing the work to match each person’s needs, so progress is steady rather than rushed.
She brings eight years of clinical experience and focuses on practical changes that matter to daily life. Beginning therapy can feel hard, and she aims to make that first step clear and manageable for anyone ready to start.
How therapeutic methods translate to online care
Dr. Lewis uses trauma-informed, person-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral ideas and motivational interviewing. Trauma-informed work focuses on recognizing how past hurts affect current reactions and helps people regain a sense of safety and control. Person-centered work emphasizes listening and following the person’s lead so goals arise from what matters most to them.Cognitive behavioral ideas look at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teach concrete skills for changing unhelpful patterns. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes by exploring values and boosting motivation without pressure.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Dr. Lewis works collaboratively to decide which methods suit each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts over time based on what is or isn’t helping.
