LaTasha Cowan, LPC

LaTasha Cowan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with 22 years of experience in mental health. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She aims to make first steps toward change feel manageable and real.

She creates a calm space where clients can say what they think and feel without judgment. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. Conversations center on current problems, coping skills, and small actions that can make daily life easier.

LaTasha uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused methods to guide work when painful memories or patterns get in the way. She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and stick with them.

Her background includes helping people facing cancer, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, addiction concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and low self-esteem.

Clients can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together and adjusted over time. LaTasha emphasizes skills that can be practiced between visits, and she checks in about what is and isn’t working. That steady focus helps people move toward clearer thinking and better day-to-day functioning.

How CBT and Trauma-Focused Care Work Online

LaTasha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety and depression, then practice different ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often useful for stress, mood changes, and daily coping skills. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when painful memories or past events interfere with current life; it helps people process those memories and build stronger coping responses. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own motivation for change and turn intentions into consistent actions.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. LaTasha will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what helps most, keeping the process collaborative and goal-directed.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different rhythms of life. Video visits let people connect face-to-face when schedules allow. Phone calls work when bandwidth or a hands-free check-in is easier. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, between-session coaching, or a way to share progress without scheduling a full session. These options make it easier to get consistent care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
