About Latoya
Latoya Love uses a strengths-based, solution-focused approach to help people build steady routines for their mental health. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri and draws on 11 years of experience as a clinician. Latoya writes plainly and offers practical steps to help clients make small, meaningful changes.
She understands how trauma and chronic stress can interfere with daily life and aims to make therapy feel manageable and direct.
How Latoya works
Latoya earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Missouri - Kansas City and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Webster University in St. Louis. Her background includes long experience working with people recovering from abuse and post-traumatic stress.
She combines trauma-focused work with client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on what matters most to each person. In sessions she draws on Internal Family Systems ideas to help people notice different inner parts and how they influence behavior. She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify small, achievable goals.
This mix is helpful for concerns such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, anger, and compassion fatigue. Latoya also addresses practical life strains like parenting stress, adoption and foster care matters, immigration-related stress, and chronic illness or pain. She brings attention to multicultural concerns, including prejudice and discrimination, and helps people work through shame, guilt, and body image struggles.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Clients can expect short-term goal setting alongside deeper trauma work when needed. Latoya aims to support people in showing up for themselves more consistently and finding clearer daily routines for self-care.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they feel understood and can find their own solutions. It helps when someone needs time to sort thoughts, build self-compassion, and make decisions at their own pace.Trauma-Focused Therapy targets the effects of past harm and helps reduce symptoms that cause distress today. This work is useful for people coping with sexual assault, abuse, post-traumatic stress, or recurring trauma reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit each person's goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean starting with solution-focused steps and adding trauma-focused or Internal Family Systems ideas as trust and progress grow.
Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and more sustained conversation. Phone calls are helpful when bandwidth is low or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or reflections between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between meetings.
