Latoya Johnson

Latoya Johnson is a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship challenges, and major life changes. She also provides support for trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar concerns, and caregiver stress.

Her style is down-to-earth and straightforward. She works with each person to pick the methods that fit their situation. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps that can be used between meetings.

Latoya combines several approaches to match what a person needs. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to reframe unhelpful thoughts and acceptance-based ideas to build flexibility when feelings are intense. Attachment-focused work and client-centered listening help repair patterns that affect close relationships.

She often supports people through grief and end-of-life concerns, guiding them through emotion, decision stress, and meaning questions. Her approach aims to reduce distress while helping people make day-to-day changes that feel manageable.

Clients can expect a partnership where the therapist listens first, then creates a plan together. Sessions emphasize small, realistic steps and skills a person can try between visits. The overall goal is steadier coping and clearer choices for moving forward.

How her approaches shape online counseling

Latoya uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change patterns of thinking that keep them stuck. CBT focuses on practical strategies and small behavior changes that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationships affect current connections. This approach helps people understand patterns in close relationships and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process guides which techniques are emphasized in sessions rather than applying one fixed method.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm session formats before booking since specific options were not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists can adapt CBT exercises, attachment work, and acceptance strategies to an online setting so people can practice skills between meetings and use what they learn in everyday life.
