More about Latasha
- 11 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am licensed in Louisiana with over 18 years of professional work experience. I have specialized training with behavior therapy and trauma of all types (including domestic violence and sexual abuse). Finally, I have been trained in a number of therapeutic modalities, that treat mood disorders, anxiety, stress, relationship issues,
and coping with grief and loss.
I believe in providing goal-directed treatment. This means that a goal or several goals are established after a thorough assessment. All treatment is then planned with the goal in mind and progress is made toward the goal in a time-efficient manner.
I take a collaborative and supportive stance in my approach to therapy and my clients have told me that I am easy to talk to.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Latasha Hicks has helped me through my darkest of moments. I’m so grateful for her.
I went through a couple of Betterhelp therapists before I found Latasha and I really enjoyed working with her. We had productive video sessions, but also a good amount of communication via text in the week between, which I appreciated. She helped me see and validate actionable steps I could take to improve my situation. I'd highly recommend her.
L always points me in a positive direction.
Latasha is an amazing person. She is very thoughtful with her responses and always manages to bring up points of view to make you think about what you are saying. She is super supportive and helpful at providing worksheets that you can use throughout your daily interactions and conflicts. I always feel confident that she is listening to me and trying to provide great support and advice. Love this woman all around! ❤️
Latasha is great! She’s a good listener and helpful. She doesn’t just listen but looks for solutions. I enjoy talking to her!
We are just starting but she is very grounded and sensitive.
She has been a great help to me when I've actually been able to use my app. Phones been messed up but I'm glad shes understanding and has taken the time ahead has to help me.
Love our talks
Latasha is an amazing therapist. I am very new to this app therapy thing and she has made this a very comfortable experience. I told her that I wasn't very comfortable with talking over the phone or video calling and she was very understanding. I've had therapist is the past but this is a first where I have one that checks in with me if I haven't responded in a few days. I makes me feel like I have someone out there other than family or friend that is here and cares about me and if I'm ok. I would totally recommend her to all of my family and friends. Also I was very put off my the app therapy thing but it really does help especially for people that have busy schedules but still would like to work through their problems but can do it on their own time without scheduled appointments. Thank you Latasha for being apart of my healing journey!!!
Latasha is really invested in helping me improve my life. She checks in with me regularly and offers a lot of good advice to help me with my problems

Latasha is kind, personable and has great insight!
Latasha Hicks has given me a lot of clarity. Now it’s up to me to take the additional steps I need to improve my mood and overall mindset. BetterHealth has been a wonderful help in the transitional phrase in my life.
She is awesome ! Always available when needed and very understanding
Latasha is great. I think she really listens to me and guides me. She doesnt tell me what to do. Sometimes just hearing things come out of my mouth helps. She guides and navigates the conversation where I need it to go.
She is very compassionate and easy to talk to. Her advice helps greatly. She is one of the best Therapists I've ever had.
Latasha Hicks has been wonderful and attentive as a therapist.
