Background and approach
Latoya uses evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral approaches and solution-focused work tailored to each person’s needs. She helps clients learn coping skills, solve problems, and build better routines. Sessions often include concrete tools that people can practice in daily life.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Latoya uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily struggles because it focuses on clear steps and practical exercises.She also uses solution-focused therapy, which emphasizes small, practical changes and building on what already works. This approach helps set short-term goals and track quick wins for things like parenting challenges, workplace issues, and coping with grief.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether CBT, solution-focused strategies, trauma-focused methods, or a mix will be most useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good when you want face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer writing things down. These options make scheduling more flexible and help fit sessions into busy lives.
