About LaToshia
LaToshia Spearing is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 21 years working in mental health. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, grief, and issues like ADHD and bipolar. She also supports people dealing with parenting, intimacy and self-esteem struggles, career stress, and major life changes.
She uses clear, goal-focused methods in sessions. Conversations often identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then test small changes to daily routines and reactions. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered skills to keep work practical and grounded in what matters right now.
Her background includes a Master of Arts in Counseling from Webster University and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the College of Charleston. She has over two decades of experience across clinical settings and private practice. This experience informs how she structures sessions and monitors progress.
In practice she also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques, mindfulness strategies, and motivational interviewing to support emotion regulation, communication, and commitment to change. Sessions may include skill practice, thought records, and problem-solving steps suited to the concern at hand.
People who prefer direct, structured support that focuses on concrete steps often find this approach helpful. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
LaToshia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behavioral experiments. CBT is concrete and works well for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems by breaking issues into thought-feeling-action links.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so people can clarify goals and make choices that matter to them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or communication are priorities; DBT offers concrete strategies for managing strong feelings and reducing conflict.
Choosing the right method is part of the work. She will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit current needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change as progress is made and new challenges appear.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for a typical week and how sessions can be scheduled to match daily life.
