LaToya Stevenson, LCSW

LaToya Stevenson, LCSW, centers her practice on forming strong connections with clients. She emphasizes being seen, heard, and valued while guiding people through stress, anxiety, grief, and addictions. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping people take practical steps toward change.

She draws on 11 years of experience in emergency mental health care and community-based settings. That background informs how she responds to crisis, conflict, and sudden life changes. LaToya frames sessions around immediate concerns and realistic goals rather than abstract theory.

Her approach blends several practical therapies. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify patterns of thought and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take values-driven action. Dialectical behavior ideas support emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming.

LaToya also values attachment-based and client-centered work, creating a warm, trusting space where people can speak openly. She has worked with individuals, families, and groups in social service settings and brings that experience into sessions.

LaToya holds a Master of Social Work and a Master in Legal Studies, and she is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida. She invites people who are ready to make changes to use therapy as a practical tool for coping, healing, and moving forward.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and change

LaToya often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify personal values and take small actions toward them even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying practical experiments to change behavior and mood.

She also incorporates attachment-based and client-centered principles to build a trusting working relationship. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process; LaToya will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences.

If you want to try online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to practice coping skills, manage cravings, process grief, and plan changes in everyday life without implying a particular outcome.
