About LaTonya
LaTonya Hawkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of experience. She uses a straightforward, person-focused approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictive patterns, and relationship pain. Her tone is practical and warm, and she aims to make therapy feel doable for busy lives.
LaTonya centers sessions on the person's goals. She listens first, then helps set clear, achievable steps. Common tools she draws on include cognitive-behavioral techniques to reframe unhelpful thoughts and solution-focused methods to identify immediate next steps.
How LaTonya works
She also uses client-centered and motivational interviewing ideas to build motivation and respect each person's pace. LaTonya pays attention to how past experiences and current pressures interact, including issues like grief, trauma, parenting stresses, and caregiver strain. She works with people coping with career stress, control and communication problems, and struggles around self-esteem and forgiveness.
Her background includes roles in community settings, schools, faith-based organizations, and mental health agencies. That variety has shaped a flexible style that suits people wanting concrete strategies or a more relational space to talk things through. LaTonya offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.
She helps people clarify goals, practice new skills, and track small changes over time. Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the person's lead. In online sessions this means the therapist asks open questions, reflects what is said, and helps clients clarify their own goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their style, and adjust as progress is seen. That teamwork helps match techniques to needs, whether someone wants concrete skills or more space to process feelings.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and each has practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and full discussion of material. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, noting small wins, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
