Latoya Johnson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 23 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship troubles, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, self esteem concerns, career setbacks, bipolar disorder, and major life changes. Her manner is down-to-earth and direct, and she aims to make therapy feel relatable rather than clinical.
She uses a mix of approaches chosen with each person in mind. Sessions focus on real problems and clear goals. She listens to how past experiences shape present choices and works with clients to build practical skills for daily life.
Latoya often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and on attachment-based ideas to understand close relationships. She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies to help people live by their values, and dialectical behavior tools for managing intense emotions.
Her background includes many years helping people in crisis move toward steadier patterns of behavior. She emphasizes collaboration and a straightforward style with gentle sensitivity. Clients can expect a therapist who balances empathy with practical steps for change.
Latoya accepts clients from different places and conducts sessions in English. Before beginning, she works with each person to set achievable goals and a plan that fits their daily life.
How her therapy approaches translate to online work
Latoya uses several common approaches that fit well into online conversations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing thoughts and testing whether they help or hinder daily life, which can lead to small behavior changes and better mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current bonds and communication, useful for people struggling with closeness, trust, or repeated conflict. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take actions that match those values even when difficult feelings are present.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to choose methods based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
The therapist profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time. It also supports continuity when life events make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt the exercises and skill practice from these approaches to an online setting, focusing on clear goals and practical steps you can use between sessions.
She supports people with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, self esteem, relationship and family issues, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
