LaDerida Stokes-Roberts

LaDerida Stokes-Roberts is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of professional experience. She helps people who are coping with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, and attention and focus concerns. Her work also touches on adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and workplace difficulties.

She treats trauma and grief in straightforward ways. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills to manage strong emotions and improve day-to-day functioning. LaDerida uses techniques that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding to them.

Her approach is collaborative. She views clients as the experts on their lives and draws on the client’s strengths when planning steps forward. This means conversations often include problem-solving, setting small goals, and checking what works in real life.

LaDerida blends methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused techniques. That mix is intended to help with motivation, decision-making, and coping after difficult experiences. Sessions aim to be practical and oriented toward immediate concerns.

Clients can expect clear, direct communication about goals and next steps. She works in English and accepts international clients. Her practice notes that session costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

LaDerida uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change thought patterns that get in the way of decisions and day-to-day functioning. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, work problems, and difficulties with focus.

She also uses motivational interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unmotivated. That approach involves exploring what matters to the client and building small, workable steps toward change. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify strengths and quick strategies for immediate problems rather than only focusing on the history of an issue.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. LaDerida will work with clients to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration means techniques can shift as progress is made or as new priorities emerge.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also make it simpler to manage camera or bandwidth needs, while others provide a fuller session experience. Discussing these practical details at first contact helps find a rhythm that fits everyday life.
