Latisha Sterling, LMHC, LPC

Latisha Sterling is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with five years of clinical experience. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, and mood challenges. Sessions focus on finding clearer ways to tackle immediate problems and improving day-to-day functioning.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in mental health counseling. Latisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-focused methods to address thinking patterns, motivation, and past wounds. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, with steps to try between meetings.

Latisha has worked with people affected by adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, communication and control problems, and domestic violence. She also supports those dealing with self-harm thoughts, impulsivity, personality and mood disorders, and the effects of post-traumatic stress. This background informs how she plans sessions and sets short-term goals.

In a typical session she will identify a few priorities, offer straightforward strategies, and review progress at follow-up appointments. Motivational interviewing techniques can help when change feels difficult or stalled. Trauma-focused approaches are used carefully to address painful memories while keeping the work manageable.

Latisha sees individuals in a way that aims to balance practical problem solving with attention to emotional healing. People who want clear next steps and respectful, direct discussion about family and parenting pressures may find this approach useful.
