About Laticha

Laticha Perez is a California licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 21 years in mental health work. She has guided people through stress, anxiety, trauma, and low self esteem. Laticha focuses on helping people build motivation and confidence so they can move forward in daily life.

She has worked with children, adults, young adults, and couples across a range of concerns. Her background includes crisis intervention and supporting people after experiences of abuse or trauma. Laticha uses clear, respectful language so clients know what to expect in sessions.

Her approach is collaborative. She invites people to give feedback and help set measurable goals. That way each plan is tailored to the person’s needs and pace. Sessions usually aim to leave someone with practical steps they can try between meetings.

Laticha combines client-centered listening with motivational interviewing techniques to boost readiness for change. She also uses trauma-focused methods when past events are affecting day-to-day life. These approaches are applied in simple, straightforward ways rather than complex terminology.

Many people come for help with mood concerns, panic attacks, or life transitions like separation or caregiving strain. She also addresses issues such as isolation, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or shame. Laticha frames therapy as a partnership toward clearer goals and better day-to-day functioning.

How her therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s needs. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them find their own solutions; this is useful for self esteem, stress, and relationship concerns.

Motivational Interviewing is aimed at increasing a person’s motivation to make changes. It uses open questions and gentle reflections to explore ambivalence and support small, achievable steps toward goals like managing anxiety or building confidence.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the impact of past events on current behavior and feelings. This approach helps when trauma or abuse is affecting daily functioning or relationships.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Sessions are collaborative and often adjusted as people make progress or face new challenges.

Session format options were not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and continue care during life transitions. Different formats can also allow for shorter check-ins or conversations without being on camera, depending on what the therapist offers.
