About LaToya

LaToya Stevenson, LCSW, centers her practice on building connection through empathic, trauma-informed care. Drawing on 11 years of experience in emergency mental health and community-based services, she blends practical crisis intervention skills with therapeutic approaches that prioritize presence and collaboration.

Background and approach

Her background includes social work degrees and a master's in legal studies, and she brings that multidisciplinary perspective to work with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship concerns, substance issues, grief, self-esteem, bipolar challenges, parenting concerns, eating issues, anger, and ADHD. Stevenson emphasizes a warm, inviting environment where clients feel seen, heard, and valued.

She uses evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based, and Client-Centered techniques to tailor support to each person’s needs. Her practice experience spans individual, family, and group work within community mental health and social service settings, with particular strengths in crisis and conflict resolution.

LaToya invites clients who are ready to pursue change to engage in collaborative work toward healing and resilience.

Integrating evidence-based approaches with online flexibility

LaToya commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which encourages people to clarify personal values and commit to meaningful actions while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by shifting focus toward valued living rather than symptom elimination. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT provides practical tools for mood regulation, coping with depression, and managing intrusive thoughts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. LaToya works with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current circumstances, adapting techniques from different models as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor treatment to each person’s needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as scheduling flexibility and easier access to care from home or work. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can engage in ongoing therapeutic work in ways that fit their routines, making it simpler to practice skills between sessions and maintain continuity while managing busy or changing lives.
