Latasha Hicks, LCSW

Latasha Hicks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with 11 years of professional experience. She has specialized training in behavior therapy and trauma treatment, including care for survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse, and she works with a broad range of concerns such as mood disorders, anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, grief and loss, depression, and ADHD.

Latasha favors goal-directed care, beginning with a thorough assessment to identify one or more clear, achievable goals. Treatment is planned around those goals so that sessions remain focused and progress is made in a time-efficient way. Her approach combines practical strategies with attention to each client’s individual needs and circumstances.

She takes a collaborative and supportive stance in therapy, tailoring conversation and treatment plans to match each person’s preferences and strengths. Clients have told her that she is easy to talk to, and she emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction. Latasha recognizes that starting therapy requires courage and she aims to support clients through that first step and beyond.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Latasha Hicks integrates several evidence-informed approaches to help clients manage stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, and mood challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change those patterns, making it a common choice for depression, anxiety, and ADHD-related challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship and supports clients in exploring their own goals and solutions, which can improve emotional awareness and strengthen coping in relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Latasha works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as progress is observed and priorities evolve.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access consistent care from home or work. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver supportive, goal-oriented treatment while accommodating the practical demands of daily life.
