About Laticia

Laticia Georgie practices from a strengths-based perspective, combining empathy with practical strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and the aftermath of trauma.

Background and approach

As an LCSW with ten years of clinical experience in Illinois, she brings a respectful, compassionate approach that emphasizes each person's inherent value while addressing issues such as depression, grief, substance use, self-esteem, and relationship challenges.

Her work integrates evidence-based tools along with collaborative support to tackle a wide range of concerns, including bipolar symptoms, ADHD, eating and food-related issues, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, and post-traumatic stress. She also addresses isolation, guilt and shame, forgiveness, life purpose, social anxiety, traumatic brain injury, and compassion fatigue.

Laticia aims to meet clients where they are and help them build skills for coping with life changes and restoring balance. Reaching out for help is framed as an important first step in a healing process.

Laticia welcomes prospective clients who are ready to explore change and growth and offers guidance aimed at practical progress and renewed hope.

Therapeutic approaches for flexible online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client’s own goals to create a respectful, collaborative relationship that supports healing and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and transform emotional responses in relationships and personal patterns by exploring attachment needs and emotional bonds.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and may blend elements from different methods to form a tailored plan that fits the person’s situation and priorities.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and different communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic constraints while allowing clients and licensed professionals to focus on meaningful progress.
