About LaToya
LaToya Stevenson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 11 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship issues, parenting concerns, addictions, grief, eating concerns, bipolar, ADHD, self-esteem, anger, LGBT-related matters, and coping with life changes.
She draws on years in emergency mental health and community-based social services. That background shapes a direct, practical approach to crisis and conflict. Sessions often begin by stabilizing immediate distress and identifying small steps clients can use between meetings.
Her work blends several therapy styles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clearer values and committed action. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies skills for emotion regulation and managing intense moments.
LaToya also uses attachment-based and client-centered methods to strengthen relationships and center the person in decisions about care. She aims to listen, reflect what she hears, and help people set achievable goals. That means focusing on real-world changes at home, work, and in daily routines.
Practicalities are discussed early. She asks about current stressors and resources, then works with each person to build a plan that fits their life. To start, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
BHow sessions work
Online sessions that use practical therapy approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and then take small actions toward those values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation and tolerating intense feelings.Choosing a method is collaborative. The therapist will listen to current problems, goals, and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. That plan can shift over time as needs change, with regular check-ins about what is helping.
The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work, school, and family routines, or useful when they prefer shorter check-ins or not being on camera. Online work can let sessions focus directly on coping skills, values-based steps, and problem-solving in everyday life. If you have questions about formats or scheduling, confirm them as part of the initial matching questionnaire and first appointment.
