Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Laticha Perez

Laticha uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person’s values and goals guide the work. This approach helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions by focusing on the client’s own strengths and choices.

She also uses motivational interviewing, a collaborative style that helps people resolve ambivalence and find their own reasons for change. This method is useful for increasing motivation around behavior change, building confidence, and setting achievable goals.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Laticha works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time to respond to progress and new challenges.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These formats provide flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity of care from different locations within California, and offer multiple ways to communicate so clients can choose what feels most comfortable for them.
