About LaTresa

LaTresa Hart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years in social services. She brings a direct, warm style to sessions and focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She also helps people with parenting struggles, career stress, and issues around self-esteem and motivation.

She bases sessions on clients' strengths and builds a plan around what each person wants to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing are among the methods she uses to help people notice patterns and make different choices. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity.

Hart has experience supporting people affected by trauma, abuse, addiction, and grief. She also assists those dealing with family of origin problems, adoption and foster care concerns, and challenges like impulsivity or forgiveness. Money and financial issues are part of her additional focus areas and can be addressed in the context of broader life goals.

Her sessions are collaborative and interactive. She listens for practical barriers and works with clients to set manageable goals. For people juggling busy lives, she aims to make progress while keeping goals realistic and tied to everyday routines.

LaTresa practices in Indiana and conducts sessions in English. She asks clients to complete a brief intake questionnaire to match on goals before scheduling, and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

LaTresa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help clients recognize unhelpful thoughts and manage emotional reactions. CBT focuses on identifying patterns that lead to distress and testing new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find personal reasons to change when motivation feels low. That approach is brief and collaborative and works well when someone is weighing options about habits, substance use, or life direction. Together the therapist and client decide which methods fit their goals and adjust as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support consistent meetings during life transitions. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively over distance, and this therapist will help choose an approach that matches your needs and daily life.
