About LaToya
LaToya Stevenson, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with 11 years of experience. She draws on years in emergency mental health care and community-based agencies to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and family and relationship difficulties. She also addresses depression, self-esteem concerns, addictions, grief, eating issues, bipolar challenges, ADHD, parenting strain, anger, and coping with life changes.
Her background includes a Bachelor and Master of Social Work, a Master of Legal Studies, and a certification in child welfare. That mix of clinical and legal study informs a practical approach to problem solving. She has provided counseling and coaching in individual, family, and group settings across social service programs.
In sessions she focuses on connection and clear communication. She listens for patterns that leave people feeling unseen or stuck. She helps name emotions that are hard to describe and looks at how those feelings show up in day-to-day behavior.
LaToya uses several well-known approaches to guide conversations, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She blends ideas from these approaches to address the issue at hand rather than sticking to a single method.
People meet with her to talk through immediate crises and longer-term concerns. She aims to help clients build skills to manage symptoms, improve important relationships, and adapt to life changes. The first session is used to clarify goals and decide where to begin.
How these approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name core emotions and the patterns those emotions create in relationships. In short sessions it can clarify what people feel and why those feelings lead to repeated reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing values-guided actions. It is often used to reduce avoidance and build everyday routines that matter to the client. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and closeness with others, which can be useful when relationship trust or recurring conflict is part of the problem.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, symptoms, and preferences and use that conversation to decide which methods to emphasize. Sessions may mix techniques so treatment fits the issue rather than forcing a single model.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing commute time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuity of care during changes in routine. Ask about practical details and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions align with daily needs.
