About Latoya

Latoya Simmons is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of experience helping people navigate emotional and behavioral challenges.

Background and approach

She blends evidence-based methods into practical care, drawing on training in trauma-focused approaches and cognitive behavioral techniques to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and ADHD. Her background includes roles as an in-home therapist, school-based counselor, youth advocate, and group therapist, which inform a flexible, real-world approach to treatment.

Across twenty years of practice in South Carolina, she has supported clients facing domestic violence, workplace stress, parenting difficulties, anger management, and other life disruptions. Latoya emphasizes skill-building and problem solving, working collaboratively to identify coping strategies and solutions that fit each person's situation.

She also has experience providing emergency consultation and suicide prevention training, reflecting a commitment to both individual care and community well-being. Clients can expect a practitioner who uses established, evidence-based therapies and who values the courage it takes to begin therapy.

Latoya frames her work around helping individuals and families move toward healthier emotional and psychological functioning while honoring each client’s strengths and goals.

Evidence-Based Therapies Adapted for Online Care

Latoya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy as core tools to guide online work. CBT involves examining how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaching practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and ADHD-related challenges. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on processing traumatic experiences in a paced, supportive way and teaching skills to reduce trauma-related symptoms and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences and will adapt methods over time to find the best fit. This collaborative stance helps ensure that interventions remain relevant and responsive to each person’s progress and changing priorities.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and access. These options allow clients to engage in evidence-based treatment from home or other convenient locations, facilitating continuity of care while fitting into busy lives.
