About LaDerida
Florida LMHC with 15 years of experience, LaDerida Stokes-Roberts helps people manage trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, career struggles, and attention concerns. She works with adults who want practical tools and clearer thinking. Sessions focus on what is manageable now and next steps to move forward.
LaDerida uses approaches that encourage short-term skill building and targeted change. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going. She uses Motivational Interviewing to clarify what a person wants and to build small momentum toward goals. She also applies Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused methods where they fit the client’s situation.
In sessions she treats the client as the expert on their life. Conversations look for strengths to use alongside new skills. Work often includes setting small goals, trying exercises between sessions, and reviewing what helped or didn’t help.
Her background includes 15 years of clinical work in Florida as an LMHC. That experience covers a range of concerns including adoption and foster care, attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and workplace issues. She also has experience with impulsivity, forgiveness work, and exploring life purpose.
People meet her to address both long-term patterns and immediate problems. She supports clients who want to improve focus, memory, or motivation, or who need help processing loss. If a reader wants to start, confirm current session options before booking.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
LaDerida often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to find small changes that reduce distress and improve focus. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and build small, practical steps toward those goals.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can cut commute time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or let someone join from a quieter room. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly adapt exercises, homework, and goal tracking to remote visits so progress continues between meetings.
