About Latanya
Latanya Buckham is a licensed mental health counselor in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
Background and approach
Her tone is supportive and straightforward. She aims to make the therapy room a place where people can speak honestly.
Sessions focus on identifying what's most troubling and building small, clear skills to reduce overwhelm. Conversations cover thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in everyday terms so ideas are easy to apply at home.
Latanya draws from several approaches to shape each person's care. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thinking.
She also works with acceptance and commitment therapy ideas to help people notice values and take meaningful action. For relationship concerns she incorporates elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce repetitive conflict patterns.
When emotion regulation is needed she brings in techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to help manage intense feelings. Her style is collaborative and paced to each person's comfort.
Clients set goals, and sessions aim for steady progress rather than quick fixes. Latanya has five years of clinical experience as an LMHC in New York and supports people from a multicultural perspective.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Latanya often blends Gottman Method ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and reducing harmful interaction patterns, which can help people who want clearer conversations and fewer recurring fights. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and it supports taking practical steps aligned with personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then choose techniques together. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually fits the client's life and needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for longer, interactive sessions and role practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easy to send quick updates, practice skills between meetings, or hold a brief session without being on camera. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels, while keeping the focus on steady progress and usable tools.
