About Latoria
Latoria Murphy, LCSW, focuses on helping people who feel stuck by life changes, relationship strains, or low self-worth. She aims to make therapy approachable and practical so clients can act on small changes that matter. Her work often centers on improving communication, reducing isolation, and building more steady self-esteem.
She uses straightforward conversation to map out challenges and set clear goals. Sessions often include moments to notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new ways of relating, and try different responses between meetings. The goal is steady progress rather than a quick fix.
With three years of clinical experience, Latoria draws on methods that address attachment and trauma and that strengthen emotional understanding. She works with people navigating divorce, midlife shifts, parenting strain, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, caregiver stress, and money and financial issues when those topics affect daily life and relationships.
Her approach is trauma-informed and culturally aware. She focuses on listening first, then choosing techniques that fit each person's values and situation. Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental setting where their identity and history are respected.
Practical skills are emphasized alongside emotional processing. That can mean learning simple communication habits, planning small steps to handle finances or stressors, or practicing ways to reduce social anxiety. Latoria supports clients as they try new patterns and adjust plans based on what works.
Approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values instead of getting stuck. It can help with life changes, motivation, and stress that follows financial or relationship shifts. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current responses; it is useful for improving communication and reducing repeated conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. That process is collaborative, with adjustments made as clients learn which tools help them most.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, keep a shorter check-in on a lunch break, or avoid travel time. It also lets people practice new communication or emotion-regulation skills between sessions in day-to-day settings. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises so they work over distance while focusing on the same goals as in-person care.
