She brings 18 years of experience and a straightforward, compassionate approach to sessions. LaTonya talks with clients about goals and practical steps to move forward.

Background and approach
That mix helps with mood, anger, and patterns that keep people stuck. Motivational interviewing is used to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change when addiction or avoidance gets in the way. LaTonya also uses solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals and build momentum fast.
This can be useful for career decisions, relationship problems, or parenting stress. Sessions aim to be clear, goal-oriented, and respectful of individual values. Her background includes community programs, school settings, faith-based organizations, and mental health agencies across Georgia.
That variety shaped a flexible style that adapts to different lives and schedules. LaTonya explains options in plain language and helps clients pick what feels realistic for them. She offers several online formats so people can choose what fits their routine.
Conversations address grief, trauma, intimacy concerns, caregiver stress, ADHD, and women’s issues among other areas. The work is collaborative and focused on practical next steps.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding each person’s goals, and adjusting pace to match what they need; it helps with self-esteem, grief, and relationship concerns by centering the individual's priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, anger, and patterns that cause distress. Sessions often include short exercises and homework to practice new skills between meetings.
LaTonya will work with each person to find the best mix of methods. Deciding on an approach is collaborative - goals, preferences, and the issue at hand guide the plan. The first sessions usually focus on what the client wants to change and which tools feel helpful.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send shorter updates, ask quick questions, or fit support into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity and try different formats as needs change.
