About LaToya
LaToya Tanniehill is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on practical steps that fit into busy lives. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted from trying to cope alone.
LaToya listens first and lets clients set the pace. She uses straightforward tools to reduce anxious thoughts, build self-esteem, and handle life changes.
Background and approach
Sessions often include simple exercises and real-life strategies that clients can try between meetings. Her background includes long-term practice in Illinois as an LCSW. Over the years she has guided people through grief, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, and work-related stress.
That experience informs how she tailors each plan to a person’s situation. LaToya draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on a person’s goals. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and Mindfulness techniques to ease tension in the moment.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone needs clarity about next steps. Many people also seek help for caregiver stress, feelings of isolation, control issues, or questions about life purpose and self-love. LaToya combines practical coaching with therapeutic work to address these concerns.
The aim is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes. She conducts sessions in English and practices in Illinois as an LCSW. People who start with her can expect a collaborative plan, clear tools to try at home, and ongoing adjustments to keep the work relevant.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s goals first and creates space to talk through what matters most. It involves listening, reflecting, and helping people name clear next steps they want to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions CBT can mean identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavior changes between meetings to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This might mean blending client-centered listening with CBT skill-building and mindfulness practice over time so the plan fits a person’s life.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people juggling work, family, or tight schedules. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or comfort on camera is an issue, and live chat or text-based messaging support quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy week while still working on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, or life transitions.
