About Latoya
Latoya Claxton is a licensed mental health counselor with seven years of clinical experience in Florida. She focuses on helping people through hard moments like depression, anxiety, grief, and substance concerns. Latoya offers steady, nonjudgmental support and practical tools to manage strong emotions and life changes.
Latoya listens first and then works with each person to build a plan that fits their needs. She draws on several approaches to help people manage stress, build healthier relationships, and cope with trauma or loss.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-focused while honoring each person's pace. People come to her for help with relationship struggles, intimacy-related issues, career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges. She also supports those facing bipolar symptoms, anger, and issues around self-esteem.
Latoya works with concerns related to LGBT identities and helps people navigate major life transitions. Her style blends client-centered listening with skills-based work. Mindfulness techniques and strategies from dialectical behavior therapy are used to help regulate emotions and respond differently to stress.
Emotionally-focused and existential ideas help people clarify values and find more meaning in their choices. Latoya provides sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their schedule. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
Latoya uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and helps new clients get started through a short matching questionnaire.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Latoya uses client-centered therapy to start sessions by listening carefully and following each person's priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes the work around what matters most to them.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy - DBT - to teach clear, practical skills for managing intense emotions, handling conflict, and tolerating distress without making things worse. Mindfulness therapy is used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Latoya will talk through options and tailor methods to a client's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes regular work more doable. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text-based messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These formats help fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the focus on practical strategies and steady support.
