About Latina
Latina Johnson is a licensed clinical social worker in Michigan with six years of direct practice. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, sleep problems, and addictions. She also supports parents working through parenting challenges and related stresses.
Her approach is warm and straightforward. Sessions aim to be a place where clients can name what’s happening and try small changes. She emphasizes listening first, then helping clients choose practical steps that fit their life.
Background and approach
Latina uses a blend of ways to work depending on the issue. That can mean looking at patterns in relationships, practicing new coping skills, or focusing on emotions that feel hard to manage. She helps people break down big problems into manageable pieces and try experiments between sessions.
She pays attention to exhaustion from caregiving and compassion fatigue, and offers steady support for those who feel isolated or overwhelmed. Latina also addresses issues like grief, guilt, control struggles, and problems tied to substance use in direct, nonjudgmental ways. People who come to her typically want practical tools and a calm space to sort feelings.
She communicates in clear, everyday language and works with each person to set realistic steps forward. If someone prefers remote care, she provides several online session formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Approaches that translate to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. In online sessions this can mean noticing patterns with partners, parents, or caregivers and practicing new ways to ask for support or set boundaries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple skills to shift those parts. It is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, mood issues, and habits tied to substance use.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to the person's goals and try one method or a mix that fits their needs. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan over time so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or when someone needs a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, skill practice, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life circumstances.
