About Latoya
Latoya Johnson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 23 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, career decisions, bipolar disorder, and coping with big life changes. She also focuses on issues like attachment and abandonment, codependency, caregiver stress, communication and control problems, and domestic violence.
Her style is direct but warm. She adapts her approach to each person and works together with clients to choose how to proceed. Sessions are practical and focused on skills people can use between meetings. She aims to reduce symptoms and move toward clear, attainable goals.
Latoya draws on several therapy approaches and mixes them to fit what a person needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice values and take meaningful steps.
She emphasizes creating a real connection rather than being a textbook therapist. She describes herself as laid back and straightforward, while staying sensitive to each person’s situation. That combination helps people feel heard and get practical next steps.
Latoya brings years of practice to complex situations and crisis work. She helps people interrupt recurring patterns and find steadier ways of coping. Her approach focuses on healing, recovery, and clearer choices for moving forward.
Talks, Tools, and Approaches for Online Work
Latoya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often includes practical exercises and homework to try between sessions, which can be discussed and adjusted in online meetings.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult. That approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy appears in her practice as well, focusing on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and trust.
Finding the right approach is something to decide together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That collaborative process helps shape which methods and exercises are used in ongoing online sessions.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also make it simpler to meet with a licensed professional from a different location when that is helpful.
