01About Latasha
Dr. Latasha McIlwaine helps people facing addictions, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, career challenges, and depression. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what is happening now and what a person wants to change.
She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of experience and practices in North Carolina. Her approach is practical and goal oriented. She uses methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to identify thoughts and actions that get in the way.
Background and approach
She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices to help manage intense feelings and build daily routines. Sessions are focused on what will make life feel better and more manageable. A typical session can include short skills practice, looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, and setting small, achievable steps.
She emphasizes clear tools people can try between sessions. Dr. McIlwaine has worked across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia over nearly two decades.
That background informs her practical style and ability to adapt strategies to different life situations. Her work includes support around addiction, domestic violence, blended family concerns, and life purpose. She also teaches and has written about personal recovery and resilience.
That experience shapes how she explains ideas and guides change in straightforward terms. People who choose her can expect direct support, concrete steps, and collaborative planning.

04Online support
Practical approaches for online therapy
Dr. McIlwaine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this is useful for depression, anxiety, and everyday stress. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills when feelings become intense.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences, and adjusts plans as needed based on what is and isn't working.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skills demonstration, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and try different formats to see what feels most helpful.
