    About LaToya

    LaToya Stevenson, LCSW, centers her practice on building connection and helping people feel seen and heard. She draws on a background in emergency mental health care to support people through sudden changes and intense emotions. Her approach is practical and direct, focused on what will help right now.

    With 11 years of experience, she has worked in community mental health and social service programs. That work included counseling, coaching, and crisis intervention across a range of situations. LaToya holds a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work, and she also completed a Master of Legal Studies.

    She uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions. Techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are part of the toolbox. Motivational Interviewing and Attachment-Based work inform how she supports motivation and relationships.

    Typical concerns addressed include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, eating issues, grief, and challenges with self-esteem. She also focuses on parenting stress, family conflict, bipolar disorder, ADHD, anger, and coping with major life changes.

    LaToya aims to create a warm, inviting space built on trust. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to practical steps a person can try between meetings. Prospective clients are encouraged to consider whether this hands-on, connection-focused style fits their needs.

  2. Therapeutic approaches in online care

    LaToya often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identify personal values to guide changes. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Motivational Interviewing focuses on creating conversations that strengthen a person’s own reasons for change, which can help with addictions, behavioral changes, and increasing commitment to treatment.

    Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as goals evolve and progress is made.

    The original profile did not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit into daily life since it can reduce commute time, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, or make it simpler to join sessions when travel is difficult. Licensed professionals can still use structured techniques like ACT or Motivational Interviewing effectively over remote appointments, and the focus remains on practical steps a person can try between sessions.
