Latia Maxwell, LCSW, LICSW

Latia Maxwell is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients spot unhelpful thinking and change everyday habits. Latia emphasizes respect, compassion, and clear communication in sessions.

She brings 16 years of professional experience and holds licenses in Florida and Alabama as LCSW and LICSW. Sessions are shaped to match each person’s situation, so conversations and strategies are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. Latia aims to make therapy feel straightforward and useful.

Her work often centers on coping with life changes, rebuilding motivation, and improving how people respond to stress. She also supports concerns such as body image, caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, and feelings of isolation. Latia helps people identify small, manageable steps they can use between sessions.

Latia uses acceptance and commitment approaches alongside solution-focused tools when helpful. She may combine these with motivational interviewing to build commitment to change. The focus is on practical skills and short-term goals when that fits a person’s needs.

Sessions are offered in English and provided online by video, phone, live chat, or messaging. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability. Latia encourages people to take the first step and offers a collaborative, down-to-earth way forward.

How CBT and ACT Translate to Online Care

Latia commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that maintain stress and low mood, then practice specific skills to change them. Acceptance and commitment therapy is also used to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, even when feelings are difficult.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they decide whether a CBT focus, ACT techniques, or a solution-focused direction best fits the situation and can be adjusted over time.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone works well when bandwidth is limited or when a session needs to fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people keep momentum and fit therapy into a busy life.
