About Latoria
Latoria Murphy welcomes people who are feeling stuck by change, relationships, or past hurts. She focuses on practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable. Latoria is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - practicing in Florida and she keeps language simple and direct during sessions.
She helps people sort through relationship tensions and communication problems. She also supports those dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, isolation, and major life transitions.
How Latoria works
Sessions often center on small skills that can be used between meetings to reduce worry and improve connection. Latoria draws from several approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-focused work, and client-centered listening. That means she helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, understand emotional needs, and use their own goals to guide change.
She aims to balance practical tools with space to process feelings. Her work includes addressing caregiver stress, forgiveness and guilt, money and life purpose concerns, and issues linked to pregnancy or midlife shifts. Latoria also supports people coping with social anxiety, control issues, and the fallout from separation or divorce.
With three years of clinical experience, she emphasizes collaboration and clear steps. People can expect straightforward feedback, collaborative goal setting, and options to try different strategies over time.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and big life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns shape present relationships and helps people build more supported, trusting interactions. It is often applied to communication problems and relationship stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on the emotions under relationship difficulties to improve bonding and mutual understanding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss these methods and decide together which fits best with a person's goals, preferences, and what comes up in sessions. That collaborative process lets the therapist adjust techniques as progress is made.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat or text messaging lets people check in between longer sessions or share quick updates. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and travel.
