About Latoya
Latoya Johnson is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and phobias. She brings 23 years of experience to sessions and works collaboratively to address practical problems and daily coping. Her tone in sessions is straightforward and warm, aimed at making therapy feel understandable and manageable.
She adapts her approach to each person’s needs rather than using a single method for everyone.
Background and approach
Expect conversations about what’s causing distress, small skills to try between meetings, and steps you can take toward clearer goals. She aims to help people reduce repeated patterns that keep causing pain. Her background includes long experience across diverse clinical settings.
That history informs practical strategies for dealing with anger, attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, caregiver stress, and problems tied to mood conditions such as bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder. She also works with concerns like communication problems, control issues, dissociation, and domestic violence effects.
Latoya draws on a mix of methods including cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based perspectives, client-centered listening, and skills from dialectical approaches. Sessions focus on finding what moves a person forward and on building usable tools for daily life.
People who come to her often want to sort through big life changes, manage intense emotions, or repair how they relate to others. She helps clients set realistic steps and track small wins toward steadier functioning.
How these approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small committed steps toward those values while learning to sit with difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current trust and closeness, and it helps people change how they relate to others.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. That collaborative process may include mixing methods so sessions match your needs rather than following a rigid plan.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you keep visual connection when that helps. Phone calls can fit into a short break or use less data. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins, ongoing support, or a way to follow up between meetings. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around school, work, caregiving, or travel.
