About LaToya
LaToya Stevenson, LCSW, focuses on creating connection in therapy so people feel seen, heard, and valued. She draws on eleven years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. Her approach aims to make room for real change in everyday life.
She blends practical strategies with a respectful, client-centered stance. That means conversations center on what matters to the person sitting across from her. Sessions often include skills for coping, ways to shift unhelpful thoughts, and steps to build stronger relationships at home.
Background and approach
LaToya has a background in emergency mental health care and crisis intervention. That experience shapes her calm, problem-solving style when things feel overwhelming or sudden changes occur. She also brings training in social work and legal studies to understand complex life situations.
The therapist uses approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those methods are adapted to each person’s goals and pace rather than applied the same way for everyone. People seeking help for parenting stress, grief, addictions, LGBT-related concerns, trauma, or coping with life transitions will find practical guidance and steady support.
LaToya welcomes work with adults who want straightforward tools and compassionate listening as they navigate change.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take steps toward what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and homework. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and problem-solving in daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, explain options, and together decide which methods fit best. Techniques can be mixed and adjusted over time as needs shift.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you work face-to-face when discussing relationship or parenting concerns. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break during the day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for ongoing check-ins and brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and continue progress from wherever you are.
