Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Latoya draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward actions that match their values - an approach useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore patterns in close relationships and early bonds, helping clients address abandonment, trust, and family or partnership difficulties.
She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. These approaches are presented in clear, practical terms so clients can apply new skills in everyday life.
Finding the best fit is part of the therapeutic process. Latoya works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods and pacing meet their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, stay connected during difficult times, and maintain continuity of care from different locations.
