About LaTonya
LaTonya Hawkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship concerns. Her approach is practical and person-focused, with short-term goal work when needed and space for deeper reflection over time.
She meets people where they are and starts by listening to what matters most. Sessions often begin with clear, achievable goals and steps to reduce immediate distress.
Background and approach
Over time she helps clients build skills for communication, emotion management, and day-to-day functioning. Her background includes work in community settings, schools, faith-based organizations, and mental health agencies. That variety shaped a flexible style that can fit different routines and needs.
She has helped people facing grief, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, caregiver stress, and life transitions. LaTonya draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful space, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete next steps. Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure about change.
She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging so therapy can fit into busy lives. People in Georgia may find her perspective familiar and practical. The aim is steady, measurable progress rather than quick fixes.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
LaTonya uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals guide the work. This approach helps people who need a listening ear and steady support while they sort through feelings and priorities.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. CBT online works well for anxiety, low mood, ADHD-related planning and organization struggles, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and she works collaboratively to choose methods that match each person’s needs and goals. She will try short experiments, adjust pacing, and check in about what is helping so the plan fits the client’s life and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy schedules. Video allows face-to-face conversation; phone can be simpler when bandwidth is low; live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer typed communication. These options give flexibility for ongoing work and follow-up between longer sessions.
