Laticha Perez, LMFT

Laticha Perez is a California licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 21 years of experience in mental health work. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. Laticha aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion as they take the first steps toward change.

Her background includes work with individuals across the lifespan, including children, young adults, couples, and adults of all ages. She has also worked in crisis intervention settings. That variety has shaped a flexible approach to common problems like relationship struggles, motivation, and confidence.

In sessions she asks for feedback so goals are clear and measurable. Clients can expect collaboration about what to work on and how to track progress. The overall tone is supportive and straightforward rather than clinical or abstract.

Laticha uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client's experience and priorities, and Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. She also works with Trauma-Focused Therapy for people processing past harm and intense stress reactions. These methods are woven into a practical, goal-oriented process.

Laticha practices in California and conducts therapy in English. If you want to try working with her, follow the provider's matching process to answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to her availability.

How therapy methods shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's priorities at the center and focuses on listening, empathy, and the client's view of what needs to change. This approach helps when someone feels stuck and needs a nonjudgmental space to sort out feelings and options.

Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, practical way to build a person's motivation to change. It uses reflective questions and clear, gentle guidance to help people find their own reasons to take steps forward, which can be useful for habits, confidence, or getting unstuck.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on safe ways to work through traumatic memories and the reactions that follow. It breaks down overwhelming material into manageable steps and teaches coping skills to reduce intense symptoms over time.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with the client to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process may shift over time as needs change, and adjustments are made together.

For practical matters, confirm current session formats before booking because formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten some check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It can also allow flexibility for people who prefer fewer visual demands or shorter, focused conversations during a break at work.
