Latesha Edmerson, LCPC

Latesha Edmerson is a licensed clinical professional counselor who aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with focus and motivation. She works with concerns such as addictions, low self-esteem, and problems with concentration and memory. Her first priority is helping people take that initial step toward feeling better and more able to cope.

With 23 years of experience practicing in Maryland, Latesha draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and builds on individual strengths. Conversations are practical and direct, with attention to what feels useful day to day.

She also addresses issues tied to chronic pain, illness, and disability, along with loneliness, guilt, and difficulties forgiving oneself. Work-related stress, money worries, life purpose questions, and women’s concerns are part of her wider focus. Latesha pays attention to mood shifts and trauma-related symptoms as they come up in therapy.

People can expect a collaborative tone in sessions, where goals are set together and progress is reviewed along the way. The approach emphasizes small, achievable steps that fit into busy lives. Language used in sessions is plain and straightforward, so people can understand and practice new skills between meetings.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow the clinical standards of a Maryland LCPC. If someone wants to begin, the typical path is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment to see if the fit feels right.

Approaches that translate to online care

Latesha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical strategies and skills people can use between sessions. One common approach emphasizes building coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and short behavioral steps to reduce overwhelm. This helps people manage day-to-day reactions and regain a sense of control.

Another approach centers on improving focus and motivation through simple routines and attention strategies. This includes breaking tasks into smaller pieces, adjusting schedules, and practicing techniques to strengthen concentration over time. It is useful for people dealing with ADHD-related difficulties and low motivation.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process may change as needs evolve, and adjustments are made based on what is most helpful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and reduce travel time. Confirm which session formats are available before booking, since options are not specified here. Many people appreciate being able to bring real-world issues from their day into a session and practice new skills between meetings, which can speed up progress when methods and scheduling align.
