About LaTasha

LaTasha Cowan is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi with 22 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and related mood issues. She also works with people facing cancer, post-traumatic stress, and young adult issues.

Cowan uses straightforward conversation to help clients name what feels hard and figure out next steps. Sessions center on practical strategies and problem-solving. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide those steps.

People meet to talk about current problems, identify patterns that keep difficulties going, and try small changes between sessions. Cowan helps people explore unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and set doable goals. She also supports people managing strong emotions such as anger, grief, or mood swings.

Her work includes addressing the effects of trauma and helping people who feel overwhelmed by caregiving or compassion fatigue. For those facing medical challenges, she helps navigate the emotional strain that can come with illness.

Sessions are practical and paced by the client. Cowan encourages clear aims and regular check-ins on progress. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online matching process.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

CBT - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and testing thoughts that feed anxiety or depression. In practice this means noticing unhelpful thinking, trying different interpretations, and practicing new behaviors between sessions to see what helps.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to clarify goals and boost commitment, which can fit work on addictions, lifestyle shifts, or treatment engagement.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of traumatic events through careful processing and skills to manage strong reactions. It aims to reduce distress tied to traumatic memories and improve daily coping with trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan over time based on progress and feedback.

The therapist's biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them. They also permit choosing a format that suits technology comfort and bandwidth. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep continuity of care while adapting session length and focus to everyday demands.
