Latesha Edmerson

Latesha Edmerson is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) licensed in Maryland with 23 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck, uncertain about what comes next, or overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. Her practice focuses on concerns such as addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and attention or concentration difficulties.

She helps people talk through problems with motivation, confidence, and memory. Latesha treats issues that often sit alongside those concerns, including chronic pain or illness, workplace stress, money worries, guilt and shame, and isolation. Life purpose and young adult challenges are also areas she addresses.

Her approach treats the client as the expert on their own story. Sessions aim to identify strengths the client already has and apply them to current challenges. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to what is happening now and what can change next.

Over her career she has supported people struggling with mood disorders and post-traumatic stress symptoms, and she brings that experience to sessions that focus on daily functioning. She listens for patterns that affect concentration and motivation, then works with clients to try different ways to manage those patterns.

Latesha encourages taking small, manageable steps. She recognises that beginning therapy takes courage and she helps people move at a pace they can handle. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to clarify goals and next steps.

Therapeutic methods and how online sessions work

Latesha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer day-to-day functioning. One common approach she applies helps people break problems into manageable steps and develop routines to support attention and motivation; this can be useful for ADHD-related focus issues and low motivation. Another approach concentrates on identifying and testing unhelpful thinking patterns, helping people reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms by trying different ways of responding.

Finding the best approach is part of the collaborative work. She will help clients identify which techniques fit their goals and preferences, and adapt methods as progress is made. The client and therapist check in on what is working and adjust strategies together.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can be practical for people balancing work, caregiving, or medical appointments because it can reduce travel time and fit into a shorter break. It also allows sessions that focus on brief check-ins, longer weekly work, or exercises to practice between meetings, depending on what the client and therapist agree will be most useful.
