About Latoya
Latoya LaGuerre is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with three years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and related concerns. Latoya also lists work with depression, addictions, LGBT matters, anger, self-esteem, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her approach, so sessions involve listening and reflecting on what matters to the person. Mindfulness methods are used to help manage strong emotions and ground attention in the present.
In practice Latoya aims to create a straightforward setting where thoughts and feelings are discussed without judgment. Sessions typically focus on specific problems and small skills to test between meetings. She encourages clear goals and practical steps that can be checked over time.
Her background includes work addressing parenting strain, trauma, and family problems. She also lists additional focus areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, self-love, women’s issues, and young adult issues.
Latoya conducts sessions in English and is based in Georgia. She notes that starting therapy takes courage and guides people through the initial steps, including completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling the first session.
How CBT, client-centered work, and mindfulness translate to online sessions
Latoya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that feed stress and anxiety. CBT sessions often break problems into small steps and include practical exercises to try between meetings. Client-Centered Therapy means conversations focus on the person’s priorities, with the therapist listening and reflecting to clarify what matters most.Mindfulness Therapy is used to build attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity. Simple breathing and grounding practices are taught and practiced in session to help manage intense emotions. Together these approaches aim to combine problem-focused work with attention skills to handle day-to-day challenges.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Latoya will work with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts the mix of CBT, client-centered listening, and mindfulness based on what the person prefers and what helps most.
