About Latrice
Latrice Willis is an Illinois licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. She works with people dealing with parenting strain, addictions, caregiver stress, and issues tied to self-esteem and career changes. Sessions are offered in English and she practices in Illinois.
Her approach blends practical therapies to address everyday problems. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts without being controlled by them. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing is part of how she supports people struggling with change, including addiction-related goals.
In sessions she helps people who keep putting others first, struggle to set boundaries, or feel stuck in relationship patterns related to codependency. Conversations focus on clearer communication, setting limits, managing anger, and reducing overwhelm. She also works on coping skills for ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and major life changes.
Clients can expect a direct, client-centered style that emphasizes concrete strategies. Work may include short skills practice, problem-solving, and looking at how values shape choices. The therapist also addresses blended family issues, infidelity, financial stress, and midlife questions when they affect daily functioning.
Her practice recognizes cultural and contextual factors in stress and relationships. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to discuss goals and next steps.
How sessions work
Using evidence-based approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on clarifying what matters to someone and taking steps that match those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing is a goal-focused conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change and build momentum toward those goals.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
The original biography did not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let someone use audio-only sessions when bandwidth is limited or choose a video conversation for more interactive skills practice. Licensed professionals adapt techniques like ACT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing to these formats so clients can practice skills between sessions.
