About Latrice
Latrice Willis integrates evidence-based methods into a compassionate, client-focused practice to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and life transitions.
Background and approach
As an LCSW practicing in Illinois with 13 years of clinical experience, she blends cognitive and behavioral strategies with acceptance-based and motivational techniques to support clients facing issues such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, addiction, and low self-esteem.
Her work emphasizes practical coping skills and clearer communication, addressing challenges like parenting tensions, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, infidelity, financial strain, and feelings of isolation. Latrice offers a culturally aware, affirming environment where clients can explore guilt, shame, impulsivity, and questions of life purpose while developing resilience and improved decision-making.
Using approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, she helps clients translate insight into daily change. Sessions aim to strengthen emotional regulation, reduce unhelpful patterns, and foster a renewed sense of direction and self-compassion.
Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take purposeful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transition work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which can be effective for mood, stress, and coping challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to help manage intense emotions and improve relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and challenges. This collaborative stance allows treatment to evolve as needs change and as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access licensed professionals from home or other locations within Illinois.
