About Laticia
Laticia Georgie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Illinois with ten years of counseling experience. She takes a strengths-based, respectful approach that centers each person’s dignity and worth. Laticia encourages people who are nervous or unsure about starting therapy to see that reaching out is an important first step. She wants clients to know that change and relief are possible and that she will listen without judgment.
In sessions she draws on motivational interviewing to help people clarify what matters most and build motivation for change. She also uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral strategies to address thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that get in the way of daily life. Mindfulness techniques are offered to steady stress and emotion, while emotionally-focused ideas can help when relationship patterns are painful.
Laticia has worked across several clinical settings and supports people dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and substance use concerns. She also helps people facing parenting strain, caregiving burden, eating and food-related issues, anger, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and life transitions. She listens for underlying values and goals that guide each person’s plan for change.
Her style is collaborative and practical. She helps people set clear, achievable steps and revisits progress together. People who want straightforward talk and steady encouragement will find a focus on real-life tools and small, sustainable changes.

How these approaches guide online work
Motivational Interviewing helps people explore their own reasons for change in a respectful, nonjudgmental way. It is useful for concerns like addictions, motivation for life changes, and building momentum toward goals. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance so people feel heard and supported as they talk through tough issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and offers concrete strategies to test new ways of coping and reacting.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they will try approaches that fit the person’s needs and adjust plans based on what works over time.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats also use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can help when a quieter space is needed or energy is limited. Ask about the specific session formats offered when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can plan what will work best for your routine. -
