About Latoria
Latoria Murphy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with three years of experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem problems, and major life changes. Sessions are conducted in English for adults seeking focused support.
Her practice emphasizes practical steps people can use right away. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that cause pain. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches to address values, connection, and relational patterns.
Latoria often supports people dealing with communication breakdowns, caregiving stress, and control issues. She helps clients who are navigating divorce or separation, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, midlife changes, or money-related stress. Social anxiety, isolation, guilt, and shame are common themes she addresses with structured exercises and conversation.
In sessions she mixes direct skill building with reflective work on relationships. That can mean practicing clearer ways to speak with others, testing a new way of responding to anxious thoughts, or mapping patterns from past attachment experiences. Homework and short exercises are used when they fit the client's goals.
She describes her approach as trauma-informed and culturally responsive. People who want clear strategies and straightforward discussion about relationship patterns and life transitions may find her style useful. To begin, the usual step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT helps people spot automatic thoughts and test new responses. It uses short experiments, thought records, and behavior changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that align with those values while allowing difficult feelings to exist. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people notice how early bonds shape current reactions and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means discussing how much practical skills work someone wants, whether values-based work appeals, and how much focus on relationship patterns is needed.
Please confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or making sessions possible from different locations. These practical benefits can help someone keep momentum while learning new ways of thinking and interacting.
