Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for stress, anxiety, anger, and coping with life transitions because it focuses on practical strategies to change reactions and improve daily functioning.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can be particularly helpful for those facing family conflict, trauma-related emotional dysregulation, or repeated relationship difficulties.
LaToya approaches treatment collaboratively - she works with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. That process may combine elements from different approaches so care aligns with what the client needs and hopes to achieve.
Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible through flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent, skills-based work while fitting sessions into busy schedules and varied life circumstances.
