LaTanya Ellington is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and changes in family life. She focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier. Her style is straightforward and supportive for someone juggling parenting, work, and personal needs.

LaTanya emphasizes culturally responsive care and listens for each person's background and values. She works with clients to identify strengths and to set concrete goals they can try between sessions. That might include communication practice, problem-solving strategies, or ways to handle big life shifts.
Her approach is collaborative - she and the client pick techniques that fit the person’s situation. LaTanya draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques while keeping language plain and actions specific. Expect practical guidance, empathy, and steps you can apply right away.
LaTanya has three years of clinical experience and practices in Michigan. She offers help around communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, life purpose, and building self-love alongside her core concerns. If you want clear tools and steady support through transitions, she can be a partner in that work.
How evidence-based techniques fit into online therapy
Many of the evidence-based therapeutic techniques LaTanya uses focus on clear, practical skills people can try between sessions. One common approach she uses teaches concrete coping strategies for anxiety and stress, such as breathing exercises, grounding techniques, and step-by-step problem solving. These techniques help reduce immediate overwhelm and make daily tasks feel more manageable.Another approach emphasizes improving communication and relationships by practicing small changes in how people speak and listen. This kind of work helps with family conflict, divorce-related strain, and improving self-esteem through clearer boundaries and requests.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. LaTanya works with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, values, and daily life. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on what is working and what feels realistic for the client.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since none are specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, require less travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be hard. It can also make practicing communication and coping skills in real-world settings more immediate. Licensed professionals can help tailor sessions so therapy fits into everyday life.
