About Latrice

Latrice Willis is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship troubles, and major life transitions. She works with people facing parenting challenges, workplace strain, addiction concerns, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are presented in straightforward language and focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings.

Willis uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches to help people notice what matters and act on it. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to clarify values and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Motivational Interviewing for impulse control, emotion regulation, and making difficult changes.

In practice she helps clients with blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and the fallout from infidelity or separation. She also supports those dealing with emptiness, shame, isolation, midlife questions, and money or career concerns. Work in sessions tends to be goal-focused and action oriented, with concrete coping strategies and communication tools.

Willis’s approach is culturally aware and attentive to the realities of everyday life. She offers a steady, practical way to try out new habits, handle setbacks, and reassess direction. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How evidence-based approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when emotions are hard. It is useful for anxiety, life transitions, and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for intense feelings and impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed, so sessions stay relevant to the client’s priorities.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a quick touchpoint is helpful. Some people prefer shorter phone or video meetings for practical reasons like bandwidth or keeping a tight schedule, while others choose longer sessions to cover deeper issues. The therapist will help match session rhythm and methods to what fits the client’s life.
