Latonia Grissom-Blue Pollard

Latonia Grissom-Blue Pollard is an LMSW who brings 18 years of experience to her clinical work in Michigan. She offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, ADHD, trauma, and related challenges. Her style is warm and collaborative, aiming to help clients feel heard and understood.

She meets people where they are and tailors each plan to their needs. Sessions focus on building everyday coping skills, strengthening emotional awareness, and setting realistic goals that fit a person’s life. The therapist values straightforward strategies clients can use between meetings.

Her background includes private practice, telehealth, and school-based settings. That range has shaped an ability to work with diverse concerns from panic attacks and depression to autism spectrum differences and intellectual disability. Latonia emphasizes practical change over jargon and keeps explanations simple and direct.

Her clinical approach draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as cognitive and behavioral strategies, emotion regulation skills, and interpersonal work. Those methods are combined flexibly so care reflects each person’s unique history and goals. Progress is tracked through concrete steps and regular check-ins.

Latonia guides people toward greater resilience and clearer thinking about what matters most to them. She frames therapy as a partnership where client goals steer the work and small changes add up over time.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Latonia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape her online work in simple, concrete ways. Cognitive behavioral strategies help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms. Dialectical behavior concepts focus on emotion regulation and coping skills to reduce impulsivity and crisis-driven reactions, helping people manage strong feelings more steadily.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and strengths, and adjust techniques over time based on what is most helpful. The client’s priorities guide each step of treatment.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, support shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows ongoing work using worksheets, skill practice, and between-session tasks so progress continues outside of meetings.
