About Latanya

Latanya Buckham is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship trouble, trauma or abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Latanya aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.

She keeps sessions simple and direct. Latanya creates a calm space where clients can talk about what is hard without feeling judged. She listens for personal stories and patterns that get in the way of feeling steady or connected.

Background and approach

Latanya draws on Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problem and reframe difficult experiences. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to address thoughts, behaviors, and values. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and concepts from the Gottman Method may be used when they fit a client’s goals and needs.

Her approach is collaborative and practical. Latanya works with each person to set clear, reachable goals and to try small changes between sessions. She focuses on building coping skills, improving communication, and restoring a sense of agency.

With five years of clinical experience, Latanya brings steady support for everyday struggles and deeper wounds. Sessions are offered in English from her New York practice for people looking for thoughtful, story-centered care.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Latanya directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

How narrative and skills-based approaches work online

Latanya uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and rethink the stories that shape their feelings and actions. This approach supports shifts in identity and perspective when old patterns feel stuck. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that lead to different results.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Latanya approaches this collaboratively, discussing options and testing what helps most for each person’s goals and preferences. She tailors techniques from narrative, ACT, and CBT so they fit practical needs rather than fitting a label.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter check-ins between sessions, or people who prefer writing their thoughts. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while still doing meaningful, structured work together.
