Latoya Claxton, LMHC

Latoya Claxton is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with seven years of practice. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, depression, and life changes. Latoya aims to offer a steady, nonjudgmental presence when hard things happen.

She listens first and then helps people find practical ways forward. Sessions can focus on coping skills, emotional regulation, motivation to change, or rebuilding self-worth. Latoya names common struggles clearly - job loss, relationship strain, substance use, trauma, or the hollow feeling after loss - and addresses them in straightforward terms.

Her approach blends several therapy styles. She uses client-centered techniques to follow each person’s pace. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools help with intense emotions and coping. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports people working through relationship and attachment issues.

Latoya also incorporates existential ideas about meaning and mindfulness practices for stress management. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where goals are set together and progress is reviewed. The aim is to build useful habits and responses, not just talk about problems.

She offers help by text, email, or video depending on what a person prefers. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. People interested in beginning are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a brief matching questionnaire to schedule according to availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Latoya uses client-centered therapy and DBT in ways that work well online. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following each person's pace, which helps when people need time to explain their situation in a comfortable way. DBT provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping, and those skills can be taught and practiced during video sessions or via written exchanges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review a person’s goals, preferences, and everyday needs and then recommend which methods to try first. That choice is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful and practical.

The profile notes that sessions can be offered by text, email, or video, though readers should confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins around a work break, accessing care from a different city, or choosing a written format when typing feels easier than talking. These practical benefits can help people maintain momentum while they learn new skills and cope with addiction, anxiety, grief, or life transitions.
