About Latoya
Latoya Claxton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She has seven years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, loss, or substance use. She focuses on building a steady connection and practical steps clients can use day to day.
Her work begins with listening without judgment. She offers a calm presence and helps people name what is most pressing. From there she and the client decide on concrete goals and small, manageable steps to move forward.
Background and approach
Latoya uses a mix of approaches based on what each person needs. She draws from client-centered therapy to keep the conversation focused on the client’s priorities. She also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to teach emotion regulation and stress management skills.
She supports people coping with grief, career strain, relationship challenges, and changes like moving or loss. She also works with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood issues, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related struggles. LGBT clients and those managing addiction-related problems are welcome to seek help.
Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Latoya encourages people to try a format that fits their schedule and comfort. She aims to guide clients with patience and practical tools so they can feel steadier in daily life.
Practical approaches for online counseling
Latoya uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities and strengths. This approach centers the conversation on what the client wants to address and supports self-directed change. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, is also part of her toolbox. DBT includes skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress, which can help with anxiety, anger, and addiction challenges. Choosing the right approach is a shared process. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Clients and the therapist can adjust the plan as progress is made. Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow for a face-to-face feel when that matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for quieter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging fit shorter updates, ongoing skill coaching, or when someone needs more frequent contact between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, review progress, and support people through life changes without asking them to rearrange their whole day.Questions people ask
