About Lateka
Lateka Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of clinical experience. She offers a straightforward, person-focused approach that helps people name what they are feeling and take manageable steps forward. Her work emphasizes practical skills and clear conversations so clients can start making changes right away.
Her approach draws on client-centered ways of working, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior methods to address thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. She mixes talk with skill practice so people learn new ways to cope with stress, anger, and cravings.
Background and approach
Sessions are goal-oriented and paced to match each person’s needs. Lateka often supports people facing anxiety, depression, grief, and addictions. She also helps with relationship strain, family problems, parenting stress, low self-esteem, and life transitions.
Anger and trauma-related concerns are listed among her focus areas as well. Her background includes helping people navigate complex situations such as co-morbidity, divorce and separation, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and multicultural issues. She uses motivational interviewing and mindfulness tools when they fit the goals at hand.
The emphasis is on building practical skills that can be used outside of sessions. Lateka provides services from Alabama and conducts sessions in English. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they feel heard and understood. It helps people clarify their goals and decide what changes matter most in their life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses straightforward tools such as thought records and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication. These skills are useful when intense feelings or relationship conflicts get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying a skill-based tool one week and a mindfulness exercise the next, adjusting as progress is made.
Online sessions via video calls make it easier to meet from different locations and preserve commuting time. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or keeping momentum between longer appointments. These options provide flexibility so therapy can fit into work, caregiving, or other routines.
