About LaTonya
LaTonya Mangum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with 11 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Her work also covers concerns like abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, and family conflict.
She uses straightforward conversation and practical skills in sessions. That can mean learning new ways to handle strong emotions, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, or improving how someone talks about needs and boundaries. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing in day-to-day life and on small changes that make a difference.
LaTonya draws from several approaches to shape the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and shift thoughts that feed anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used to manage impulsivity and intense feelings. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about patterns formed in early family relationships.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques to help people clarify values and take action, and client-centered work to keep the client's experience central. The therapist tailors the mix of methods to fit each person’s goals and circumstances.
Her style is practical and direct. People who come in worried about relationships, recurring shame or guilt, or a persistent sense of emptiness will find focused problem-solving, skills practice, and clear steps to try between sessions.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and practice actions that fit those values. Online work with ACT often focuses on brief exercises and real-world experiments to try between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses specific tools to change unhelpful thinking or avoidance patterns. In virtual sessions CBT often includes worksheets, thought records, and behavioral homework.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to use based on current goals, challenges, and personal preferences. That means trying a method, checking how it works, and adjusting the plan together when needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Practically speaking, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins when momentum or mood requires it. Some methods translate well to shorter skill-focused visits while others suit a longer conversation, and the format can be chosen to fit daily schedules and goals.
