About Latisha
Latisha Sterling is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey. She draws on five years of clinical experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, mood concerns, and trauma.
Latisha aims to create a respectful, down-to-earth space where parents and individuals can talk about what feels overwhelming and figure out practical next steps. Latisha uses clear, goal-focused methods that help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Background and approach
She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing with trauma-focused work when needed. Sessions emphasize short-term coping skills and longer-term patterns that affect daily life and relationships. She has a background that includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in mental health counseling.
Latisha has experience helping people dealing with foster care and adoption topics, blended family issues, caregiver stress, communication struggles, impulsivity, and mood disorders. She also supports those managing anger, self-esteem, and career-related stress. Parents often contact her about behavior concerns, parenting stress, or adjustments after life changes.
Latisha helps people clarify goals, set realistic changes, and practice new approaches that fit their family routines. Her manner is warm, interactive, and focused on building practical skills. People who choose her can expect an approach that balances short-term tools with attention to deeper trauma or attachment wounds.
She works in English and offers several remote session formats to fit different schedules.

How Latisha Uses Evidence-Based Tools Online
Latisha draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to support parents and adults in remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to improve mood and daily routines. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to build motivation for change and set goals that feel realistic and meaningful.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Then she and the client decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the plan practical and goal oriented.
Online sessions can fit into busy family life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients share thoughts between sessions or check in without scheduling a full call. These options help make it easier to keep consistent work toward goals while balancing parenting and daily demands.
