About LaToya
LaToya Tanniehill is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with 11 years of practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career pressures, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief. She also addresses caregiving stress, control issues, isolation, and questions about life purpose and intimacy.
LaToya offers a direct, practical style that focuses on clear steps and real-life problems. Sessions are used to name what’s most draining and to try concrete tools for coping. She mixes short-term strategies for immediate relief with deeper work on patterns that keep problems repeating.
Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness practices, and Motivational Interviewing. That means clients can expect both listening and structured techniques - for example, tracking thoughts that fuel anxiety or practicing skills that change interactions with others.
LaToya emphasizes collaboration. She helps people set realistic goals, try small experiments between sessions, and adjust plans when needed. Progress is practical: less overwhelm, clearer decisions, or steadier moods, depending on the person's goals.
She practices in Illinois and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and format details through the site flow.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
LaToya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Client-Centered methods. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. EFT focuses on the emotions and interactions that shape relationships, helping people communicate needs and respond differently to one another. Client-Centered work means sessions include attentive listening and collaborative planning to set clear goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try first. That process is collaborative and can shift over time as goals change or progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, avoid travel time, or use a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. They also allow practical exercises to be done between meetings, such as thought records, mindfulness practice, or role-play of relationship conversations, which fit the CBT and EFT approaches she uses.
