Therapeutic approaches for online support
Latoya uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, listening-focused space where people set the pace and goals of their work. This approach helps when someone needs empathy and a clear place to make sense of their feelings.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy or DBT strategies that teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. These techniques are useful for strong emotions like anger and for managing impulsive responses.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy, used in her work, focuses on identifying and shifting the patterns that keep people stuck in painful emotional cycles. It can help with relationship strain and improving emotional connection with oneself and others.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Latoya will review what you want to change, try different strategies, and adjust based on what helps most. She aims to match methods to each person’s goals and comfort level rather than use one fixed path.
Online therapy with Latoya offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you work face-to-face by camera, phone sessions can be easier when video isn’t possible, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text-based messaging makes it possible to send updates between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations change.
