Dr. Latrice Maric, LCPC

Dr. Latrice Maric is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who holds an MA and an international PhD in psychology and brings 10 years of clinical experience working with individuals and groups. She supports a diverse clientele facing concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem challenges, coping with life changes, anger, compassion fatigue, fertility-related struggles, multicultural concerns, and women's issues.

Her therapeutic stance is collaborative and interactive while also being direct and willing to explore deeper roots of presenting problems. She encourages thoughtful self-reflection and connection as tools for personal growth, and she partners with clients to set clear, achievable treatment goals. Dr. Maric draws on client-centered methods, cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, narrative perspectives, and solution-focused strategies, tailoring each plan to the specific needs of the person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

She emphasizes respect, dignity, and compassion, and does not view people through stigmatizing labels. Seeking help to navigate life’s challenges is framed as an important act of self-care, and Dr. Maric aims to provide supportive guidance and practical steps toward greater wellbeing and meaningful change. She practices in Illinois and offers services in English.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Latrice Maric integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practices into online sessions to meet a range of needs in a flexible format. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the person’s own goals and values guide the work - this approach supports self-esteem, identity concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with difficult emotions. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-reduction techniques that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Maric works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. The choice of techniques may evolve as therapy progresses, with the therapist and client making adjustments together.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access licensed professionals from different locations. These options allow therapists to provide consistent, effective support while accommodating individual routines and needs.
