About LaToya

LaToya Stevenson, LCSW, brings a practical, skills-focused approach grounded in cognitive behavioral techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 11 years of experience in community mental health and emergency mental health care, she draws on crisis intervention and conflict resolution skills to guide clients through periods of upheaval and painful change. Her background includes social work degrees and additional legal studies, and she has worked in settings that served individuals, families, and groups.

She blends CBT with acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-informed perspectives, client-centered values, and dialectical strategies to tailor care toward each person’s situation. Common areas of focus include trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, self-esteem and identity concerns, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, bipolar and mood regulation, eating issues, ADHD, and other coping difficulties.

LaToya emphasizes creating a warm, trusting environment where clients can feel seen and supported while learning practical tools for change. Clients who choose to work with her can expect collaborative care that balances skill-building with attention to connection and meaning.

She offers a supportive, empowering stance aimed at helping people navigate crises, reshape patterns, and move toward manageable, lasting shifts in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches for online support and skills-building

LaToya often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, teaching concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values, accept difficult emotions, and commit to meaningful action even when feelings are uncomfortable. Attachment-informed work is used to explore relational patterns and how early connections influence current relationships and coping.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to assess needs, priorities, and preferences, then combines methods in a way that fits the person’s goals and life circumstances rather than relying on a single technique.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to access consistent therapeutic support from licensed professionals while maintaining continuity of care during busy or transitional periods.
