Latasha Hicks, LCSW

Latasha Hicks is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She brings 11 years of experience as an LCSW and aims to make therapy practical and goal-directed. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person's needs. She uses straightforward language and a supportive manner to make conversations easier to start.

Latasha centers treatment on clear goals set after an initial assessment. She then plans sessions to work toward those goals in a focused way. Her background includes work with mood disorders, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and ADHD. That experience shapes how she structures short- and longer-term work.

Her approach blends several clinical methods to match the issue at hand. Elements of cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness practices help people notice and respond to stress with more calm. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports identifying personal values and taking steps toward them.

Clients can expect a respectful and sensitive environment where the therapist listens first and then tailors a plan. Sessions emphasize practical steps, coping skills, and measurable progress toward stated goals. Latasha encourages people to take the first step and recognizes that starting therapy takes courage.

Latasha holds LCSW credentials and works in Louisiana. She describes herself as collaborative and supportive, aiming to make therapy understandable and useful for everyday challenges.

Approaches that guide online work and direction

Latasha draws from methods that focus on thoughts, values, and present awareness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep stress and anxiety going and teaches practical strategies to change them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when worries are present.

These methods are used together with a client-centered stance that keeps the conversation grounded in the person's experience. Determining the best approach is part of the work itself. The therapist and client collaborate to try techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps and what feels manageable.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce commuting time. It also lets people try approaches such as CBT homework or mindfulness practices between sessions so progress can carry into daily life.
