About Latosha
Latosha Kessell is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) licensed in Texas with 11 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at helping clients notice patterns and try different responses.
She uses structured methods to address painful memories, difficult emotions, and unhelpful thinking. Sessions focus on clear steps a person can take between meetings. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and the Gottman Method where appropriate.
Latosha encourages clients to identify small changes that make daily life easier. She works with things like chronic pain, illness, and disability, and also helps people handle divorce, guilt, shame, loneliness, and midlife questions. Postpartum depression, women's issues, veteran and multicultural concerns are also part of her practice focus.
Her style emphasizes skill-building and practical tools. Clients learn to notice thoughts and habits, try alternative responses, and practice new coping skills. Sessions include direct discussion, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness exercises when helpful.
She asks clients to bring specific problems and goals so sessions stay focused. The aim is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes. People who want concrete strategies and clear next steps often find this approach useful.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors in everyday life. It helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing different responses. ACT emphasizes values and committed action, guiding people to notice painful thoughts while moving toward meaningful goals. DBT offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with intense emotions and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and past experiences and pick methods that fit those needs. Techniques can be combined over time so the plan changes as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific online options were not listed in the biography. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or remove travel time. Talk with the therapist about preferences for session length and frequency so appointments can be scheduled in a way that fits everyday life.
