Dr. Latrice Maric , LCPC

Dr. Latrice Maric is an Illinois-based Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 10 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, trauma, anger, compassion fatigue, and life changes. She also works with those facing communication challenges, fertility concerns, multicultural issues, self-love and women's health matters, bringing a broad clinical focus to each case.

Her style is collaborative and interactive while remaining direct and thorough, inviting clients to explore the underlying roots of present difficulties rather than staying at the surface. She encourages self-reflection and intentional connection to support personal growth, and she partners with each person to create clear treatment goals and a tailored plan for reaching them. She emphasizes respect, dignity, and compassion and does not treat people as stigmatizing labels.

Dr. Maric draws on client-centered methods, cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, narrative therapy and solution-focused strategies, adapting those tools to fit individual needs and preferences. LCPC stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, a credential that authorizes clinical counseling practice in Illinois.

Seeking help is an important act of self-care, and Dr. Maric offers experienced guidance and empowerment for those working toward meaningful change and improved well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Dr. Latrice Maric frequently uses cognitive-behavioral therapy, which helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills. She also incorporates client-centered therapy, emphasizing a warm, accepting therapeutic relationship that supports self-exploration and personal growth for people facing life transitions, grief, or identity concerns. Mindfulness therapy is used to teach present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that can help with chronic stress, emotional reactivity, and coping after trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Maric collaborates with each person to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative planning allows therapists and clients to adapt strategies over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call, by phone, through live chat, or via text-based messaging - making it easier to fit counseling into daily life. Licensed professionals can deliver these approaches effectively in virtual formats, allowing therapy to continue across distance while accommodating different schedules and communication styles.
