About LaToya
LaToya Stevenson, LCSW, centers her work on building connection so people feel seen, heard, and valued. She brings calm and direct support to stress, anxiety, and ADHD-related challenges. Her manner is warm and focused on practical steps people can use right away.
She draws on 11 years in community mental health and emergency mental health care. That background influences how she responds in moments of crisis and during big life changes.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to reduce immediate distress and help people find steadier ways to cope. Her approach blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive tools and emotion-focused work. She also uses attachment-based and client-centered methods to strengthen relationships and self-understanding.
Conversations often include goal setting, behavior strategies, and skills for handling strong emotions. LaToya has a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work, plus a Master of Legal Studies. She holds a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential.
Those experiences inform her understanding of systems and practical supports beyond sessions. People who turn to her often want help with depression, trauma, parenting strain, relationship conflict, substance concerns, or coping after loss. She also supports those navigating identity and LGBT concerns.
Her style is collaborative: she listens, suggests tools, and adjusts the plan to fit what works for each person.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and decisions about life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies for changing unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing ADHD-related routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides clear skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal interactions; it can help when emotions feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and test helpful techniques. Together they’ll try strategies, notice what helps, and adjust the plan based on what fits the client’s life and preferences.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or connect in brief moments. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, parenting, or travel while still working on skills and goals with a licensed professional.
