About Latoya

Latoya LaGuerre is a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia. She offers a calm, open approach that helps people talk about stressful life changes and everyday struggles. Latoya encourages small steps and practical conversation so parents and individuals can begin to feel steadier.

She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, anger, and self-esteem. She also supports people facing caregiver strain, adoption and foster care issues, and the specific pressures that come from discrimination or multicultural stressors. Coping with life changes is one of her central areas of focus.

Latoya uses client-centered work to make space for each person's story. That means listening first, then shaping sessions around what matters to the client. She blends this with cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes between meetings.

Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to help people notice stress and regulate strong emotions. Trauma-focused strategies are used when past events keep affecting daily life. Across approaches, she favors clear, straightforward tools that can be used at home.

With three years of professional experience as a licensed social worker, Latoya aims to make the start of therapy less daunting. She invites people to take the first step and says that small progress counts.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and building sessions around what the client says matters most. It emphasizes empathy and collaboration, which can make online meetings feel focused and personal. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to test changes between sessions. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to try and how to pace them.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue work during life transitions while maintaining regular support.
