LaToya Stevenson

LaToya Stevenson, LCSW, uses connection as the foundation of her work. She focuses on helping people who are facing sudden changes in life, stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship strain. Her approach aims to help people feel seen and heard so they can begin to move forward.

She draws on 11 years of experience in emergency mental health care and community-based mental health settings. That background shapes how she responds in moments of high emotion and transition. She pays attention to immediate needs while also looking at longer-term patterns that keep people stuck.

Sessions are straightforward and practical. LaToya blends approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and goals, and attachment-based work to improve connection with others. She also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.

Her training includes a Master of Social Work and her credential as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida. She has also studied child welfare and legal studies, which inform her understanding of systems that affect families and parenting challenges.

People who come to her can expect a warm, respectful space where the therapist helps them set realistic goals. She invites collaboration and aims to support self-directed change, whether someone needs short-term help with a crisis or ongoing support while adjusting to life changes.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

LaToya uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that worsen stress and mood problems. CBT often includes easy exercises and small experiments to try between sessions.

She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take action toward them even when difficult feelings are present. ACT can be useful for coping with life changes, ongoing anxiety, and decisions that feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. LaToya will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and she will suggest methods that fit those needs. Collaboration helps tailor the process so it feels manageable and relevant.

The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online work can also let a therapist coach practical skills in real time while someone practices them between sessions.
