About LaToya
LaToya Bivins is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia who helps with stress, anxiety, relationships, career concerns, and self-esteem. She also supports people facing depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and family concerns. Her work includes coaching around life purpose, motivation, and confidence.
LaToya uses a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate manner in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which means conversations focus on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect.
Background and approach
LaToya tailors each session to the person in front of her rather than following a rigid script. She aims to create practical steps clients can try between meetings to build momentum and change. Her approach also addresses related challenges like body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, and workplace issues.
She pays attention to communication gaps, forgiveness work, and self-love as they come up. Veteran and armed forces issues and post-traumatic stress are also listed among her focus areas. LaToya brings 10 years of professional experience to her counseling.
She emphasizes collaboration and clear goals so people know what they're working toward. The tone in sessions is encouraging; she aims to support and empower clients as they make changes. For people who prefer online care, LaToya offers several remote session formats and flexible scheduling.
She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to help determine fit and next steps.
How CBT Fits into Online Therapy and What to Expect
LaToya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts shape feelings and behaviors. In short sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different responses. This approach is often useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with motivation or confidence.Her style is collaborative. She works with each person to decide which methods to try based on their goals and preferences. Together they review what's working and adjust the plan, so treatment fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. These formats let people connect without traveling and allow for shorter check-ins or longer talks when needed. LaToya can help arrange a mix of formats so therapy fits a client's schedule and comfort level.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
