About Latrice

Latrice Willis is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She centers care on practical coping skills and clear steps people can use right away. Latrice aims to make therapy feel direct and approachable for someone juggling life changes and responsibilities.

She uses a mix of talk and skills work to address communication problems, codependency, and issues that come up in blended families. Sessions often focus on building healthy boundaries, improving self-esteem, and handling caregiver or parenting stress. Latrice emphasizes small, doable changes that add up over time.

With 13 years of experience, she has worked with people facing addiction, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and work-related stress. That background informs how she helps clients manage impulsivity, anger, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Her approach keeps results practical rather than abstract.

Latrice describes her style as culturally responsive and affirming. She listens for each person’s strengths and uses those strengths to guide treatment. Clients can expect straightforward feedback and collaborative planning during sessions.

She practices in Illinois and offers support for career concerns, money stress, commitment issues, and midlife transitions. Latrice supports people through divorce and separation, infidelity, and problems tied to guilt or shame. Her work aims to help people reconnect with their goals and move toward clearer choices.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. It helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into patterns of thought and behavior and uses practical exercises to change those patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to figure out what fits their goals and daily life. That conversation looks at what the person needs now and what they hope to achieve over time, then adjusts the plan together.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, or caregiving responsibilities. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce the need to travel for appointments. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, can adapt ACT and CBT tools to work in remote sessions, focusing on skills practice, values-based goals, and real-world homework to support change.
