Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care
LaToya uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize clear skills and problem solving. One common approach focuses on teaching coping skills for stress and anxiety such as relaxation methods, breathing exercises, and step-by-step plans to handle overwhelm. These techniques help people manage symptoms and build day-to-day routines.Another approach centers on processing trauma and difficult life events through paced conversation, grounding strategies, and gradual exposure to upsetting memories when appropriate. This helps reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions and supports safer engagement with difficult feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. LaToya will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they will adjust the plan over time based on what is helpful and what fits into everyday life.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone can be a lighter option with less bandwidth, live chat works well for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different time zones.
