About Latoya
Latoya Johnson is a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, anger, self-esteem struggles, career shifts, and mood concerns such as bipolar. She also supports people coping with family problems, attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication or control problems, and caregiver stress.
Her style is down-to-earth and straightforward. Sessions are practical and focused on what feels useful for each person.
Background and approach
She listens first, then works with the client to choose approaches that match their needs and goals. Latoya uses a mix of methods to help people manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. She draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings in relationships, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build valued action, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking.
She also incorporates attachment-based and client-centered elements when those fit. Over two decades in practice have given her experience with many life changes and crises. She aims to guide people away from repeating harmful patterns and toward clearer choices and healthier connections.
Sessions emphasize small, practical steps that can be used between meetings. People who prefer a collaborative approach will find she invites their input on goals and pace. Her work balances empathy with direct feedback, so clients know what’s being tried and why.

Online support
Approaches that guide online work and healing
Latoya often draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people look closely at emotions that show up in relationships and to build clearer emotional responses. EFT is useful for understanding how attachment and interaction patterns affect connection and closeness.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful actions even when emotions are difficult. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by focusing on values and practical steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Latoya treats the choice as a collaborative process and reviews options with each person. Together they set goals and try approaches that fit the client's needs, values, and day-to-day realities rather than assuming one method will suit everyone.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief updates, on-the-go reflection, or when someone prefers written communication. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
