About Latonia

Dr. Latonia Jennings, LCSW, offers a practical and educational style of therapy. She frames sessions around the client’s goals and helps people build skills they can use after therapy ends. Her tone is encouraging and focused on tangible steps forward.

She brings three years of clinical practice as a licensed clinical social worker and draws on a longer history in social work roles. That earlier work included child welfare, substance abuse, domestic violence, criminal justice, bereavement, and issues affecting military veterans. This background informs how she approaches complex life events and relationship struggles.

In sessions she leans on client-centered work and solution-focused tools. Cognitive behavioral strategies and motivational interviewing also appear in her approach when they fit a person’s goals. She explains methods clearly so people understand why a technique is used and how it can help.

Dr. Jennings supports a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and addictions. She also addresses parenting and fatherhood concerns, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care topics, and challenges like codependency, infidelity, and isolation.

She works with people to identify small, realistic steps and build confidence in handling life changes. Her practice emphasizes learning practical skills while exploring personal stories and values. People who want collaborative, goal-oriented care may find her style helpful.

How client-centered and CBT work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and perspectives, helping them reflect on choices and decide what matters most. It is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem work, and life changes because it centers the person’s experience.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful reactions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with addictions by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try approaches that fit, and adjust plans together. That collaborative selection helps ensure techniques match what a person needs and can use between sessions.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or offering sessions that don’t require being on camera. Therapists generally help tailor session length and pacing to what works best for daily routines and responsibilities.
