Latoya Claxton, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Latoya

Latoya Claxton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with seven years of experience helping people through hard times. She focuses on practical support for emotional pain and everyday struggles. She meets clients where they are and offers a non-judgmental space to talk and to learn tools for coping.

Sessions are offered in English and she works with clients in Florida as well as international clients. Latoya uses a mix of familiar therapy approaches to address issues like stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, trauma, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes empathy, patience, and steady support while helping people set realistic goals. In sessions she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and teaches skills that can be used between appointments. Her work often includes mindfulness skills to calm strong emotions and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to regulate mood and reduce impulsive behaviors.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas guide conversations about relationships and attachment patterns. Client-centered methods keep the focus on each person’s priorities and values. Latoya offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs.

Costs vary with location and therapist availability and are handled through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client selects Start Therapy, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to availability. She aims to be steady and practical - someone who listens, teaches manageable skills, and helps people move forward when life feels overwhelming.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client’s priorities. Online sessions let the therapist reflect what matters to the client and build goals around their values and day-to-day needs.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches clear skills for managing strong emotions, reducing self-destructive behaviors, and improving distress tolerance. In remote work, DBT tools can be taught in bite-sized modules and practiced between sessions using phone or text check-ins.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how people connect and attach in close relationships. Via video or phone, the therapist helps identify patterns that cause hurt and supports new ways of relating that increase safety and closeness.

Choosing the right approach is often collaborative. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, then suggest methods to try. Clients and therapist review progress together and adapt the plan as needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility in scheduling and format. Video calls support face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when video is impractical, and live chat or text messaging can provide short, timely support and skill coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to get consistent care while juggling work, family, and daily life.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
