About Latanya

Latanya Buckham is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression.

Background and approach

She draws on five years of clinical experience to offer practical strategies and reflective inquiry for clients seeking more balance and emotional clarity. Her work also addresses related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, codependency, and body image.

Latanya emphasizes a collaborative atmosphere in which clients can explore difficult feelings and everyday patterns without judgment. She combines approaches like Internal Family Systems with evidence-based therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Whether someone wants tools for managing mood and anxiety or support in repairing relationships and processing past wounds, she aims to empower clients to build resilience and make meaningful changes. Sessions focus on practical skills, values-aligned action, and understanding internal parts and patterns that shape behavior.

Latanya invites individuals who are ready to take steps toward a more fulfilling life to begin the process of change with attentive, experienced guidance.

Approach-Focused Online Care and Practical Support

Latanya uses Internal Family Systems to help people recognize and work with different inner parts that influence emotions and behavior, offering a way to address internal conflicts and patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify personal values and develop committed actions, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provides concrete strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, supporting progress on mood, stress, and relationship concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each client to explore what feels most useful based on their goals, symptoms, and personal preferences, and adapts methods as therapy progresses to find the best fit.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These formats allow clients to access licensed professionals from their own setting, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or other commitments.
