Latoya Love, LPC - Therapist in Missouri

About Latoya

Latoya Love is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri. She brings 11 years of licensed counseling experience to work that centers on practical steps and client strengths. Latoya emphasizes straightforward support for parents and caregivers who want to make small, manageable changes at home.

She writes and speaks from the perspective of a wife and mother, which informs her plainspoken approach to everyday stress and self-care. Latoya uses a strength-based, solution-focused style to help people identify what is working and build on it.

Background and approach

She also draws on trauma-focused techniques when early harm or abuse affects daily life. Sessions are goal-oriented and collaborative, with an emphasis on usable tools rather than abstract theory. Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, ADHD, anger, and trauma and abuse.

Latoya also addresses related concerns such as body image, chronic illness and pain, adoption and foster care, multicultural issues, and immigration-related stress. She aims to normalize conversations about mental health in communities where that talk is uncommon. Clients can expect clear language and practical next steps in sessions.

Latoya favors approaches that are easy to try between meetings, such as brief exercises and focused problem-solving. She frames therapy as a partnership and encourages people to bring what feels most pressing each week. Training includes a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Missouri - Kansas City and an M.A. in Counseling from Webster University in St.

Louis. Latoya holds Missouri license MO LPC 2014012327 and has worked in the mental health field for over a decade.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with genuine interest and reflecting back what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and supported while they sort out goals and next steps. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, concrete changes that move a person toward their goals quickly. This approach is useful for everyday parenting challenges, stress, and wanting clear actions to try between sessions.

Choosing an approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what works best.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit sessions around parenting and work commitments and to check in between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult, while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
