Conversations may include problem-solving, behavior changes, and ways to improve daily routines and relationships.

She guides the initial matching and scheduling process, then works with each person to shape a plan that fits their goals and life demands.
Approaches that guide online sessions
LaTonya uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people identify patterns in thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, then builds small experiments to try new ways of coping. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and motivation struggles.Another common focus is behavioral strategies that support daily routines and mood regulation. That work looks at sleep, activity, and small habit shifts to reduce stress and improve energy. Those strategies often pair well with problem-solving around relationship or life transition challenges.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. LaTonya will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and life situation. She regularly checks in to see what is helping and adjusts the plan together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and reading nonverbal cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and texting are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
