About LaToya

LaToya Stevenson, LCSW, focuses on helping people reconnect with themselves and others. She emphasizes emotional safety and clear communication so clients can feel seen and heard. Her approach aims to reduce distress and improve relationships one step at a time.

She brings 11 years of experience drawn from emergency mental health care and community-based services. That hands-on background shapes how she responds to crisis, intense stress, and sudden life changes.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to be practical and grounded, with an eye on immediate coping skills as well as longer-term patterns. LaToya uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside cognitive and acceptance-based techniques. That mix helps people notice core emotions, shift unhelpful thoughts, and commit to values-driven action.

She also draws on attachment-informed ideas to understand how early bonds affect current behavior and relationships. Clients often work on concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, stress, grief, relationship struggles, parenting issues, substance concerns, eating problems, bipolar-related coping, ADHD, and self-esteem. LaToya frames these topics in everyday terms and breaks them into manageable steps so progress feels attainable.

The practice style is warm and direct. LaToya aims to build trust quickly and offer clear tools for coping. She helps people set realistic goals and track small wins as they move through change.

Online support

Using Emotion-Focused and Acceptance-Based Methods Online

LaToya blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed ideas to address feelings and relationships. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and express core emotions and change patterns that block connection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches skills to notice thoughts without getting stuck and to choose actions that match personal values. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and help people form healthier ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That means trying tools together, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual connection, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, short skill practices, or when writing feels more comfortable than talking. These options make it simpler to schedule therapy around work, school, or caregiving demands.
