Latia Maxwell

Latia Maxwell is a licensed social worker with 16 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Latia aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can begin to talk through difficult feelings and take practical steps forward.

She uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. That can include strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most, and cognitive techniques to change unhelpful thinking patterns. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are used to build momentum and set concrete goals.

Latia has worked across settings in Alabama and Florida and brings that experience to her current practice. She helps people who feel stuck regain motivation and confidence, and supports coping with body image, burnout, caregiver stress, chronic illness, grief, and isolation. She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, communication problems, and life purpose.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions are shaped to fit each person’s situation and values. Latia encourages small, achievable steps and regular check-ins to track progress.

If you are weighing whether to start therapy, she asks that you recognize the courage in taking this step and offers a calm, steady presence to work through it together.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that strengthens motivation and commitment to change by exploring personal reasons for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Latia will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest strategies that fit your situation. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses so techniques match what helps you most.

Confirm current online session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT tools to remote sessions through structured conversations, goal-setting, and follow-up between appointments.
