About Latonia
Dr. Latonia Jennings is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, parenting concerns, and other life changes. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear goals rather than vague promises.
Dr. Jennings uses a mix of talk-based methods to help people clarify problems and try new ways of coping. She listens for what a person already knows about their situation and builds on those strengths. Her style includes teaching specific strategies that can be used after sessions end.
She often draws on client-centered approaches to center the person’s perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes. Mindfulness practices may be introduced to help with stress and emotional regulation.
Motivational Interviewing is applied when someone needs help finding reasons to change addictive or avoidant patterns. Narrative therapy can be used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and consider different possibilities. Dr. Jennings matches methods to the goals people bring to sessions.
Her background includes work in areas such as child welfare, bereavement, domestic violence, and substance use, which inform her understanding of family and parenting challenges. She supports people coping with adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, communication problems, and separation.
Practical steps are emphasized throughout therapy: setting small goals, learning new skills, and checking progress. To begin, readers are encouraged to follow the site’s process for matching with a clinician and scheduling an initial session.
How sessions work
Working online with client-centered and CBT approaches
Dr. Jennings commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the adult’s perspective and priorities. This approach is about listening, reflecting what matters to the person, and helping them name the next steps they want to try. It fits issues like relationship strain, parenting stress, and decisions about caregiving.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT involves trying small experiments to test new behaviors and change unhelpful thinking. That approach is often used for anxiety, low mood, and habit patterns such as substance use or avoidance.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and jointly decide which methods match the client’s goals and preferences. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.
