About Latoya
Latoya Love is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. She draws on 11 years as a licensed clinician to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and trauma-related concerns. Latoya is also a wife and mother who emphasizes practical self-care and everyday habits that support mental health.
She uses a strength-based, client-centered style that keeps conversations focused on what is working. Sessions aim to identify small, doable steps clients can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Solution-focused techniques help set clear goals and track progress in measurable ways. Latoya also takes a trauma-focused approach when past harm affects daily life. She helps people understand how traumatic experiences shape reactions and offers ways to reduce overwhelm.
Internal Family Systems influences how she talks about different parts of oneself and how they interact. Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Missouri - Kansas City and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Webster University in St. Louis.
She has worked in the mental health field for many years before and after licensure, bringing experience across a range of concerns including depression, grief, parenting stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. In sessions she speaks plainly and keeps plans practical.
The focus is on helping people show up for themselves more reliably, build daily routines that support wellbeing, and reduce the intensity of strong emotions like anger. She aims to work together with each person to find what fits their life.

Online approaches that focus on goals and healing
Latoya uses client-centered work to prioritize the person in the room. That means sessions follow what matters most to the client and start from the client’s strengths. It helps when someone is overwhelmed or unsure where to begin because the therapist listens first and builds from the client’s own resources.She also uses solution-focused methods to break larger problems into small, achievable steps. Those techniques are useful for managing anger, reducing stress, and tracking progress week to week. Trauma-focused work addresses how past hurt affects current reactions and offers ways to reduce flashbacks, hyperarousal, and avoidance through paced, intentional practices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels comfortable, then choose or blend methods collaboratively. That makes it easier to try a strategy and change course if it isn’t helping.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals via video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make scheduling simpler. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation, phone can fit into a short work break or use less bandwidth, and chat or text can be helpful for quick check-ins or ongoing coaching. These options increase flexibility so therapy can fit into daily life.
