About LaTrena
LaTrena Marshall is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, grief, depression, and self-esteem concerns. She aims to give straightforward support so parents can find clearer ways to cope and make decisions. Her style is warm and practical, with an emphasis on useful tools rather than theory.
She draws on client-centered work to listen and shape sessions around each person's priorities.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that make daily life easier. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and needs support finding their next step. LaTrena has eight years of clinical experience in school and personal-practice settings.
She has worked often with adolescents and has experience addressing school-related concerns alongside family and parenting stress. Her background includes supervisory roles with other counselors. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-focused.
Practical skills and short-term strategies are common, and LaTrena checks in to see what is or isn’t working. She aims to build a plan that fits each person’s routine and responsibilities. People meet her for a range of life changes and career-related stress as well as relationship concerns and grieving.
Her approach combines listening, concrete coping techniques, and steps to help people move forward. The work is paced to match what each person needs.

Approaches that guide online parenting and life work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and shaping sessions around what matters most to the client. It helps parents and individuals clarify goals and decide which steps feel realistic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. That approach is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related problems.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with the client to try methods that match their goals and daily life. Together they adjust techniques and pacing until the plan fits the person's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation while phone can work when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can fit into busy days and support quick reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around parenting duties, work, and other obligations.
