LaTanya Burley
Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I received my master's from California State Dominquez Hills and have been practicing for 15 years. I help adults and adolescents who are experiencing life challenges become more productive in their personal lives and in their community. My specialties are in the areas of relationship challenges and clinical issues such as anxiety, depression, mood, anger, impulsivity, and self-esteem. Moreover, I have experience with families dealing with child abuse, family custody challenges, substance abuse counseling (men/women), psychotherapy (men/women/adolescents), and group services. My clinical training and therapeutic skills have helped individuals navigate life's experiences through their ups and downs. I am confident in utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Coping Skills Development with a client-centered and solution-focused approach. I focus closely on what I can offer to help, taking one step at a time, keeping the communication active, and empowering individuals to concentrate on self-care. Most of all, to build individuals' motivation to enhance their everyday living.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
First, it's important to create a welcoming environment where you feel safe and comfortable and have ownership of your therapy session. Then, I will get to know you by actively listening to your reported needs and desired goals. This phase is called rapport building. Next, I will (empower you) work closely with you to set attainable goals and, lastly, discuss therapy expectations.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths as a provider often include: empathy, active listening, strong communication skills, patience, non-judgmental attitude, the ability to build rapport, good observation skills, problem-solving abilities, and a deep understanding of human behavior; all contributing to creating a safe space for clients to share their experiences and work towards healing.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My specialties are in the areas of relationship challenges and clinical issues such as anxiety, depression, mood, anger, impulsivity, and self-esteem. Moreover, I have experience with families dealing with child abuse, family custody challenges, substance abuse counseling (men/women), psychotherapy (men/women/adolescents), court-ordered therapy, and group services.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a 15 years experienced psychotherapist, I utilize and implement cognitive behavioral therapy as a tool and method to help individuals identify ways to decrease negative thinking, learn to recognize distorted thinking and false beliefs, identify self-help strategies, develop ways to improve mood and behavior and to help individuals to identify ways to learn to deal with overwhelming problems by breaking them into smaller parts viewing situations more clearly and responding to challenging situations more effectively. Overall, the primary goal of implementing cognitive behavioral therapy is to help individuals identify self-help methods and skills to improve their daily functioning. Areas of expertise • Self- Esteem/ Self-management • Relationship problems • Mindfulness • Problem Solving • Stress management • Mood regulation • Cognitive restructuring

Latanya is an amazing therapist to work with! She listens and encourages you to be the best version of yourself for yourself. Working with her has empowered me to find my own voice and to have the courage to say "no" and stop myself from people pleasing. She will call you out on your behaviors, but in a caring way because she wants you to succeed, learn, and grow. She gives you action items to work with every meeting and will ask you how you did the next visit. I am thankful to have met her.
