About Latesha
Latesha Edmerson is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) licensed in Maryland with 23 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and attention concerns. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain and illness, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and challenges around money, work, and life purpose.
Her approach centers on treating each person as the expert on their own story. She listens for strengths and practical ways to build on them. Sessions focus on clear goals and steady steps rather than abstract talk.
In therapy Latesha helps people sort what is happening now and what patterns come from earlier life. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood, concentration, and motivation. Conversations often include strategies to manage anxiety, improve focus, and reduce problematic coping like addictive behaviors.
She brings experience helping people regain confidence and rebuild meaning after hard experiences. Latesha pays attention to how guilt and shame show up and how they affect decisions and relationships. Work can include communication skills, problem-solving, and pacing when physical illness or pain is part of the picture.
Practical steps are part of sessions. Expect to discuss small, concrete changes between meetings and to track progress over time. The therapist encourages honest reflection and steady practice rather than quick fixes.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Latesha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical change. One common approach is structured problem-solving that breaks larger worries into manageable steps and actions to try between sessions. This helps with anxiety, decision-making, and improving day-to-day focus.Another frequent element is skill-focused work for attention and motivation. That can include simple routines, concentration strategies, and ways to track progress that fit into a busy life. These tools aim to reduce distraction and improve follow-through rather than relying on willpower alone.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Latesha will discuss goals, current challenges, and what has or hasn’t helped before recommending techniques. Together the therapist and client adjust methods and pace so the work fits personal needs and preferences.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, permit shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time.
