Latrice Scott

Latrice Scott is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Florida. She brings 13 years of counseling experience to sessions and focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. She aims to help people find clarity and practical steps forward when emotions feel overwhelming.

She received two master’s degrees in Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling from Webster University in 2012. Her background includes work in residential settings, outpatient care, in-home services, and substance abuse treatment. These varied environments shaped a flexible, straightforward approach to care.

Latrice uses a person-centered foundation that starts with listening and understanding where someone is right now. She combines that with plain-language techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address thoughts, behaviors, and emotional regulation. Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing are also part of her toolbox for practical problem solving and building motivation.

In sessions she helps clients break down goals into small, manageable steps. She guides people through coping strategies for intense feelings like anger or panic. The aim is to create change that fits day-to-day life, not an abstract plan.

Latrice views therapy as a collaborative process. She supports people in setting clear goals, trying skills in between sessions, and tracking progress over time. Her style is direct, respectful, and focused on useful outcomes.

Approaches that guide online work

Many of Latrice’s techniques come from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce distress, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger. DBT emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving tolerance for distress, and practicing mindfulness to stay grounded during crises.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Sessions often mix talking, skill practice, and short exercises to build momentum between meetings.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when appropriate, and offering flexible scheduling that can work around school or work. Licensed professionals can guide you in applying skills to everyday situations and help track progress over time.
