About Latoya

Latoya Claxton is a licensed mental health counselor with seven years of experience helping people through hard times. She works from Florida and speaks English. Latoya aims to offer a steady, nonjudgmental presence whether someone needs short-term support or ongoing guidance.

She listens first and then helps people name what feels overwhelming. Common concerns she sees include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.

Background and approach

She also supports people facing career strain, compassion fatigue, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and relationship or family tensions. Latoya uses a mix of approaches to match each person's situation. She draws on Existential Therapy to look at meaning and choice, Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work grounded in the person's experience, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach coping and emotional regulation skills.

Mindfulness and Emotionally-Focused approaches also inform her work when helpful. Sessions may be offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their life. Latoya is willing to connect through different formats and aims to make therapy practical and accessible.

Her Florida LMHC credential is listed as LMHC. For people outside the U.S., international sessions are accepted. If someone wants to begin, the usual next step is completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Online support

How these approaches translate to online care

Existential Therapy helps people examine meaning, choice, and values when life feels confusing or directionless. It can be useful for grief, major life changes, or feeling stuck. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and understood, which helps build trust and guide decisions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing self-destructive behaviors.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and practical needs and then shape sessions together. That collaborative planning helps make sure the counseling method fits the issue and the person’s daily life.

Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls are good for deeper conversations, phone sessions can fit a break at work or use less bandwidth, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy routines.
