How Latoya’s approaches fit into online therapy

Client-centered work places the person’s needs and goals at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters, and helps clients choose steps that feel right for them. This approach helps with stress, life changes, and decisions about work or relationships.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It uses concrete strategies like emotion regulation and grounding skills that can be practiced between sessions. Emotionally-focused therapy focuses on identifying and shifting patterns in close relationships, helping people feel clearer about attachment and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out what methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining listening-based work with mindfulness practice or DBT skills depending on what helps most.

The profile mentions text, email, and video as communication options. If you need a specific format, confirm current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a job, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or let someone use a phone rather than being on camera. These practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while managing everyday life.
