Latia Maxwell

Latia Maxwell is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She brings 16 years of experience to the work and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is nervous to begin. Latia treats each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations to what matters most to them.

In sessions she focuses on practical strategies that fit everyday life. That can mean breaking a problem into small steps, practicing new ways to think about difficult situations, or finding short actions that rebuild confidence. She also supports people coping with life changes, isolation or loneliness, caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, and issues that arise near the end of life, such as hospice and end-of-life concerns.

Latia uses approaches that center on the person and their values. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify what matters and build committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools help identify thoughts and habits that get in the way. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used to strengthen motivation and set achievable goals.

Her Florida and Alabama licensure are part of a career that includes diverse clinical settings over 16 years. She will work with each client to shape a plan that matches their goals and pace. If you decide to begin, Latia encourages small steps and regular check-ins to see what is helping.

To start, clients use the site’s matching process and schedule sessions according to availability. Latia communicates in straightforward language and focuses on practical ways to cope and move forward.

Approaches that translate to online care

Latia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps that align with those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them.

She also draws on Client-Centered principles to keep the conversation focused on the person’s perspective and on Motivational Interviewing to strengthen commitment to change. Finding the right mix of approaches is a team effort - the therapist and client talk through goals, preferences, and what seems most useful, then adjust as care progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and allow sessions when leaving home is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to remote work, using worksheets, short practice tasks between meetings, and focused goal planning to keep progress moving.
