About LaToshia
LaToshia Spearing is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing relationship strain, mood challenges, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her manner is steady and goal-oriented, aimed at helping clients gain clearer thinking and better coping skills.
She has worked in mental health for over two decades and has more than 21 years of experience. That background includes independent practice work and roles treating depression, anxiety, and mood disorders.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, abandonment, and the emotional fallout of relationship problems. In sessions she draws on common-sense techniques from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, and skills-based approaches. Conversations often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, building new coping strategies, and practicing emotion regulation tools.
She adapts interventions to the person in front of her rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. LaToshia also addresses parenting concerns, blended family issues, communication problems, and the stress caregivers face. She helps people sort through commitment worries, infidelity, and divorce-related stress with direct, practical advice and problem-solving steps.
Her training includes a master’s degree in counseling and a bachelor of science in psychology. She is licensed in South Carolina as an LPC and offers a steady, experienced presence for people ready to make changes.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered work emphasizes listening and following the person's lead to set goals and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs a space to make sense of strong emotions and decide what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking. It is useful for anxiety, depression, mood shifts, and for changing patterns that fuel conflict or low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides practical emotion regulation and interpersonal skills. Those skills are helpful for intense emotions, relationship conflict, and managing strong reactions in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, values, and how they prefer to work. This can mean trying different tools and adjusting plans over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone calls can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth needs, and chat or text can work for brief check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These formats make scheduling easier and let people keep therapy going from wherever they are.
