About Latrice
Latrice Scott is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience practicing in Florida. She lists stress, anxiety, anger, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, parenting, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD among the areas she addresses.
She trained at Webster University, earning two master’s degrees in Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling in 2012. Her background includes work in residential programs, outpatient services, in-home care, and substance abuse treatment. That variety has shaped a practical approach to everyday problems at home and work.
In sessions she starts from a person-centered stance. That means listening first and helping people clarify what matters to them. She then introduces skills and short-term strategies to reduce distress and improve coping.
Common methods she draws on include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set small achievable goals. Motivational Interviewing informs conversations about change, especially around addictions and ambivalence.
Her style is straightforward and goal oriented. She helps people talk through current problems, practice specific skills, and set steps they can use between sessions. This profile is aimed at adults managing strains in household relationships and the stresses of parenting.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions can use concrete CBT tools such as thought records and activity planning to address anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and parenting stress. DBT supplies skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Online DBT work often emphasizes teaching breathing and distress-tolerance skills, and practicing emotion regulation strategies relevant to family interactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will listen to a person's goals and try different techniques to see what helps. Together they set short-term aims and adjust methods as progress is reviewed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before you book. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. For some people, video lets them use screen tools and worksheets together. For others, phone sessions can be a shorter check-in that fits a break at work or a time when bandwidth is limited. Talk with the therapist about what will fit your routine and goals before scheduling.
