About Latrice
Latrice Willis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, addictions, ADHD, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. Her work includes practical help for career stress, self-esteem, anger, and coping with major life changes.
Willis uses straightforward conversation and skill-building to address everyday problems. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take manageable steps. Sessions often include checking current stresses, practicing new ways of coping, and setting small goals that fit daily life.
She pays attention to blended family issues, caregiver strain, codependency, communication problems, infidelity, and divorce or separation when those topics come up. Money and financial worries, feelings of emptiness or isolation, and midlife questions are also areas she supports. The focus is on practical skills, clearer communication, and improving day-to-day functioning.
People meet with her to sort through commitment issues, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and problems tied to parenting or family dynamics. She also works with those wanting help with life purpose, career transitions, or rebuilding after relationship loss. The approach stays down-to-earth and oriented to real tasks.
Willis practices in Illinois and conducts sessions in English. She asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session so initial concerns and goals are clear.
BHow sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take values-based action. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and finding direction when life feels uncertain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and anger by breaking problems into manageable steps. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, giving the person space to set the pace and topics of work.Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about current goals and preferred ways of working, then try approaches that fit. That may mean mixing ACT and CBT skills, practicing communications, or using motivational interviewing techniques to address ambivalence about change.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, cut travel time, and let people join from a quieter place when that works better. Some formats use less bandwidth or focus on brief check-ins, which can help during work breaks or tight schedules. Ask about the available session options when completing the matching questionnaire so arrangements match daily life.
