About Latanya

Latanya Buckham, LMHC, helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and low self-esteem. She offers steady support for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck and for those facing depression or self-doubt. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused.

Latanya aims to create an open space where clients can name what’s hard and try small changes. Conversations are direct and collaborative, with attention to real-life challenges rather than clinical jargon. Her approach draws from several practical methods.

Background and approach

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take action, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation. She also incorporates the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are part of the concern and uses narrative and psychodynamic ideas to examine personal stories and family roots.

Latanya brings five years of clinical experience as a licensed mental health counselor in New York. That background includes work with people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, codependency, body image, and mood disorders. Sessions are designed to fit each person’s pace.

She helps clients set clear goals, practice new skills between meetings, and track small progress. The focus is on usable tools that make everyday life feel more manageable.

Online support

How specific approaches work online

Latanya uses the Gottman Method to bring attention to interaction patterns and communication habits in relationships, helping people notice recurring behaviors and practice new ways of connecting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients get clearer about personal values and take committed steps toward them while accepting difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in behavior to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to each person’s goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. Together they will decide whether to emphasize relationship-focused work, acceptance and values, or skills-based CBT depending on what is most useful.

Online sessions offer flexibility in how people meet. Video calls approximate an in-person conversation and allow visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when someone needs shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These formats help fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
