About LaToya

LaToya Stevenson, LCSW, brings an approach rooted in connection and practical support. She draws on 11 years of experience to help people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and major life changes. She emphasizes being seen and heard and builds a calm space for honest conversation.

Her work centers on clear goals and steady steps toward better functioning. She trained in social work and also holds a master's in legal studies.

Background and approach

Early experience in emergency mental health care shaped her skills in crisis intervention and conflict resolution. Those skills are used to help people stabilize during hard moments and plan what comes next. Her practice uses evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based approaches.

These methods help people notice what matters, change unhelpful patterns, and rebuild relationships. She also draws on client-centered principles to meet people where they are. LaToya has worked in community mental health and social service agencies.

That background informs her practical, problem-solving style. She focuses on issues listed under family and parenting while also addressing trauma, addiction, mood concerns, and identity-related stress. Sessions are offered in English and she works with international clients as well.

She aims for warmth and clear collaboration, helping each person set goals and try small, doable changes.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters and take action toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It focuses on small, value-driven steps rather than fighting every thought or feeling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape emotions and behavior and helps people repair patterns that interfere with closeness and trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and life situation. That means trying tools, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together as needed.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs and routines. These options make it easier to keep appointments around work, school, or family obligations. They also let people use the therapeutic methods above in regular, manageable ways so progress can happen between sessions.

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.
