LaTonya Hawkins

LaTonya Hawkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of experience. She works with teens and adults to manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, and major life changes. Her style is warm and straightforward, and she meets people where they are.

She focuses on practical goals that matter to each person. Sessions often look at current problems, past experiences that still affect daily life, and steps to reach clearer goals. LaTonya draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and on client-centered work to follow a person's lead.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques also appear in her work. Those methods help when someone feels stuck or wants short-term strategies to move forward. She has provided counseling in schools, community settings, faith-based organizations, and mental health agencies.

LaTonya helps with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains, addiction, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing career shifts, divorce or separation, and challenges with self-worth and intimacy. Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to the whole person.

To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability. LaTonya practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist creates space for people to talk through what matters most and helps them set personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior. It uses practical steps and simple exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and improve daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, and then recommend ways of working that fit. That decision is made collaboratively and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. It can also make it simpler to continue care when schedules or locations change, while still using the same therapeutic methods discussed above.
