Latoya LaGuerre, LCSW, CSW

Latoya LaGuerre is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. She uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, and addictions. Her approach aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone thinking about therapy.

She brings three years of professional experience to sessions and centers the work on the person in front of her. Latoya creates an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. She listens first, then helps people set small, realistic goals to change what isn’t working.

Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s priorities and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to build calm and focus, and Trauma-Focused Therapy guides work when past hurt affects daily life.

Latoya often helps people manage family conflict, parenting challenges, and the emotional fallout from trauma and abuse. She also supports those coping with anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and the strain of caregiving or prejudice. The emphasis is on clear steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

If someone is unsure where to start, she helps them break concerns into bite-sized tasks. Scheduling begins with a short questionnaire and moves to arranging sessions based on availability. Latoya encourages people to recognize the courage it takes to begin and to take it one step at a time.

Practical therapy approaches for online sessions

Latoya uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s priorities and build a working relationship based on respect and listening. This approach helps people clarify what matters to them and set goals that feel relevant and doable.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and practicing new, more helpful responses. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and patterns tied to addiction or stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Latoya collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work stays practical and relevant.

Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into a busy day and reduce travel time. If you want to book, confirm the session formats offered before scheduling so you know what options are available. Online sessions can make regular check-ins easier, help you practice skills between meetings, and let therapy be part of everyday life without major disruption.
