About Latoya

Latoya Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Arizona and Louisiana with 23 years of practice. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, career changes, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

She uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people identify what is getting in the way of daily functioning. Sessions focus on observable problems and small steps that a person can try between meetings. Latoya adapts methods to each situation rather than following one fixed method.

Her background includes long-term work across a variety of clinical settings. That experience informs a flexible approach that blends talking, skills practice, and attention to relationship patterns. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and emotion-focused work to address thinking patterns and strong feelings.

Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship and abandonment concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy elements are used to help people clarify values and make steady changes. Dialectical behavior strategies can be introduced when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.

Latoya describes herself as direct but gentle when needed. She helps people sort out priorities, improve communication, and manage symptoms so everyday life becomes more manageable. Sessions are practical and focused on what a person can do next.

BHow sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small, values-based steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape expectations and reactions in close relationships. It can help with abandonment concerns, relationship problems, and communication issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods to prioritize based on goals, preferences, and what’s been helpful so far. That means trying techniques, reviewing how they worked, and adjusting the plan together.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people work with a licensed professional from different locations, which can help keep therapy consistent during life transitions.
