    About Latoria

    Latoria Murphy, LCSW, helps people who are facing big life changes and relationship challenges. She focuses on what matters most to each person and works to make therapy practical and understandable. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through tough moments and find clearer ways forward.

    Her work centers on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse recovery, and building self-esteem. She supports people coping with isolation, social anxiety, and shifts like divorce, pregnancy, or midlife changes. Communication problems, control issues, and caregiver stress are also common topics she addresses.

    Latoria draws on several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs. She uses Motivational Interviewing to explore a person’s willingness to change and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment-Based methods and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy help people clarify values and repair connection patterns.

    Her style is trauma-informed and culturally responsive, with attention to each person’s background and identity. Sessions focus on practical strategies such as communication skills, setting boundaries, and processing difficult emotions. She also works on building self-compassion and forgiveness when guilt or shame is present.

    Latoria is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida. She has three years of clinical experience and conducts therapy in English. People should confirm current session options before booking and use the platform’s Start Therapy button to begin the intake process.

  2. How Latoria’s approaches translate to online therapy

    Many of the methods Latoria uses can be effective through remote sessions. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational, goal-oriented approach that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and build momentum toward goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions consistent with those values while learning to accept difficult feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people shift how they relate to others to feel more connected and secure.

    Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Latoria will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation guides how sessions are structured and which techniques are emphasized so work feels relevant and manageable.

    Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, avoid travel time, and check in from a quieter place during a lunch break or after work. It also allows homework, worksheets, and values work to be shared digitally so progress can continue between sessions.
