About Latoya
Latoya Johnson is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 23 years of experience. She practices in Massachusetts and works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her approaches and combines that with methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Her style is straightforward and practical. She aims to assess each person's needs and choose the approach together with them.
Sessions focus on identifying patterns that cause recurring problems. She helps people name difficult emotions and see how those feelings affect behavior. Work can include looking at attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, codependency, control or commitment issues, dissociation, and the effects of domestic violence.
Latoya also addresses caregiver stress, dependent or avoidant personality patterns, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD), and struggles with emptiness or forgiveness. She brings a direct, down-to-earth manner so clients can talk through day-to-day problems and longer-term patterns.
Her practice emphasizes collaboration: the therapist and client set clear, attainable goals and track progress. Practical tools from CBT and ACT are used alongside emotionally focused and attachment-based work to help people manage symptoms and make changes.
Sessions are offered in English and the practice accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name painful emotions and understand how those feelings shape interactions and patterns. It is often used when attachment needs and recurring relationship patterns are central concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and building small, practical steps toward those values while learning ways to live with difficult thoughts and feelings.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaboration. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether EFT, ACT, CBT, or attachment-based work will be the main focus and can adjust as therapy progresses.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches work well with focused skills practice between sessions and with emotional processing during meetings, which can be done remotely when the chosen format supports it.
