Latoria Murphy, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Latoria

Latoria Murphy is a licensed clinical social worker who supports people facing relationship stress, identity questions, and major life changes. She offers practical, down-to-earth help for those who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping clients take small, useful steps forward.

Her work focuses on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse recovery, and building healthier self-esteem. She also addresses issues like attachment struggles, caregiver stress, communication breakdowns, and problems with control.

Background and approach

Sessions often include learning new ways to talk about feelings and practicing simple tools to reduce anxiety or isolation. Latoria uses several evidence-informed approaches that match a person’s needs. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns, shift unhelpful thoughts, and strengthen emotional bonds.

She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to keep therapy grounded in each person’s values and strengths. With three years of experience as an LCSW in Florida, she aims to create a respectful and culturally aware space. Sessions are offered in English and designed to fit real life, with options for video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Latoria helps clients set practical goals and build skills they can use every day. People who want steady, collaborative support through transitions or relationship strain will find a straightforward, compassionate approach. She meets people where they are and focuses on clear, manageable change.

Approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps that match what matters to the individual, which can be useful for life transitions and low mood.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships. It helps people identify key emotional needs and practice new ways of connecting, which is often helpful for relationship strain and attachment concerns.

Latoria treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She talks with clients about goals, tries methods that fit their needs, and adjusts as the work progresses. That collaborative stance helps make online sessions feel focused and practical.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats allow scheduling around family, work, and caregiving responsibilities and let clients choose how they prefer to communicate. The variety of formats makes it easier to keep therapy consistent when life is busy or changes unexpectedly.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
