About Latoya
Latoya Claxton is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with seven years of experience. She offers steady support for people facing strong emotions and life setbacks. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, and she works by listening first and then offering practical tools.
Claxton helps people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and addiction. She also supports those struggling with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.
How Latoya works
Relationship worries, family concerns, self-esteem, career stress, and ADHD are also within her focus. Her approach combines client-centered work with skills-based strategies. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotional regulation and mindfulness to build present-moment awareness.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to explore how feelings shape close connections, and existential ideas help people find meaning during hard transitions. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Claxton aims to match the format to what fits daily life and goals.
She emphasizes empathy, patience, and practical steps that can be tried between sessions. People who prefer a calm, listening therapist with clear tools often find her approach approachable. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

How Latoya Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects feelings, and helps people feel heard so they can decide next steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, handling stress, and improving relationships through regulation and distress-tolerance techniques. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape close bonds and helps people notice patterns that hinder connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they review what helps, adjust plans over time, and try different strategies as needed to see what fits best.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are practical for quick updates, skill practice between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
