About Laticha
Laticha Perez is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with over 21 years in mental health work. She brings long experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier.
Background and approach
She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable. Her approach centers on listening first.
Sessions begin with the concerns a person brings - stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, or recovery after trauma and abuse. She encourages clients to give feedback so therapy stays relevant and goal-focused.
Laticha uses methods that help people find motivation, build on their strengths, and process hard experiences. She helps people set small, measurable goals and checks progress along the way.
That structure is meant to turn difficult feelings into clear next steps. She has worked in crisis settings and has long experience helping people cope with life changes, panic attacks, and mood challenges.
She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, caregiver stress, isolation, and feelings of emptiness or guilt. Sessions are carried out in ways that fit each person - conversation, guided questions, and paced reflection.
The work is collaborative: the client’s priorities shape the plan. Laticha’s style is steady, respectful, and focused on helping people move toward a more manageable day-to-day life.
How Laticha’s Approaches Fit Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. It helps when someone needs space to talk, feel heard, and decide what matters most to work on. Motivational Interviewing uses gentle, structured conversations to build motivation for change and is useful for people who feel stuck or unsure about next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to try methods that match their goals and needs. Together they will adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful and realistic for daily life.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not preferred, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or moments when writing feels easier. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, shorter check-ins between sessions, and different ways to process material depending on what a person finds most comfortable.
