About Latoya

Latoya Claxton is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience supporting people through major life transitions and emotional challenges.

Background and approach

She works with individuals facing issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her practice emphasizes empathy, patience, and building a trusting therapeutic connection to help clients move from feeling isolated or overwhelmed toward greater balance and coping skills.

Latoya uses a blend of evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs, offering both listening and practical tools to manage unexpected setbacks like job loss, bereavement, or shifts in family dynamics. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult emotions and develop strategies for healthier functioning.

Available through multiple remote formats, Latoya supports clients who prefer text, phone, or video sessions and welcomes international clients seeking a licensed professional in English.

How targeted approaches translate to remote therapy



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathic space where the client’s goals and values guide progress; this approach helps people feel heard and supported while they explore difficult emotions and decisions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines validation with practical skill-building in areas like distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotional reactions and patterns that interfere with daily life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and reshaping emotional responses within important relationships, supporting repair and deeper connection when intimacy or attachment issues cause pain.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time as progress and challenges arise. This collaborative process helps clarify priorities and create realistic steps toward change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to fit care into busy or changing schedules and access support from different locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during transitions and to choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for each client.
