About LaTresa
LaTresa Hart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly 20 years in social services. She works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, and issues related to trauma or abuse. Her manner is warm and engaging, and she focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
LaTresa builds on strengths people already have. She uses clear, goal-focused strategies to help clients make steady changes. Sessions are interactive and tailored to each person's needs and goals. She draws from approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape the work.
Clients often come with questions about self-esteem, anger, grief, or addiction. LaTresa also supports people dealing with family conflict, adoption and foster care issues, and the fallout from domestic violence or family-of-origin problems. She pays attention to multicultural concerns and the impact of prejudice and discrimination on wellbeing.
In session she mixes practical tools and brief skill-building with longer conversations when those are needed. That may mean identifying small, achievable steps, trying new behaviors between sessions, and reviewing what worked. She aims to make therapy understandable and useful for everyday life.
LaTresa practices in Indiana and conducts sessions in English. She uses a strengths-based, respectful stance and works collaboratively to help people move toward clearer goals and better day-to-day functioning.

How Motivational Interviewing and CBT can work online
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and find their own reasons to take steps toward that change. It uses open questions, reflection, and a focus on personal values to build motivation for things like addiction recovery, behavior change, or improving self-care.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and managing stress and mood challenges.
LaTresa approaches this work collaboratively. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and tailor methods to fit those aims. Finding the right approach is part of the process and decisions are made together, step by step.
