In addition to clinical work, LaTrena serves as an LPC supervisor, supporting the training and development of other counselors.

Her approach centers on the client as the priority, emphasizing collaboration, commitment, and steady work toward growth and resolution. She welcomes inquiries from prospective clients and looks forward to discussing how she can support their goals.

Therapeutic approaches and remote care

LaTrena draws on client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals and perspectives guide the work. This approach helps people who need empathy, validation, and a strong therapeutic relationship as a foundation for change. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT is often effective for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical, skills-based strategies. Motivational interviewing is another tool in her practice - a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps clients resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, especially around behavior shifts such as parenting strategies or lifestyle adjustments.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and is done collaboratively. LaTrena will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting techniques over time to fit what is most helpful for that individual.

Online therapy with LaTrena makes it possible to meet by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit busy schedules, family responsibilities, or geographic limitations. These remote options support consistent care and allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that feel practical and accessible while working toward their goals.
