LaTonya Thomas

LaTonya Thomas is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, trauma, and related life challenges. She has 16 years of experience and speaks English. People come to her for help with relationships, parenting, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, mood shifts, and caregiving strain.

LaTonya uses a straightforward, caring style in sessions. She aims to be honest and nonjudgmental while helping clients notice patterns in thinking and behavior. She often helps people name what they are feeling and try simple, practical steps between sessions.

Her approach draws on client-centered work that foregrounds the person’s own goals. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to map thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Motivational interviewing can help when someone feels stuck about making a change.

LaTonya’s background includes long experience with depression, anxiety, trauma, and aging-related concerns such as Alzheimer issues. That history shapes how she sees challenges and the kinds of supports she suggests.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals and realistic steps. She helps clients practice new ways of handling anger, manage stress, and build stronger routines for sleep and eating. The emphasis is on small changes that fit into daily life.

How these approaches work online

LaTonya commonly uses client-centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Client-centered work focuses on the client's goals and experience, giving space to share concerns while the therapist listens and reflects back what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, or low mood.

She also draws on motivational interviewing when someone feels stuck about change. That approach uses guided conversation to build a person’s own reasons for trying something different. Together, the therapist and client decide what to try based on the person’s needs and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. LaTonya will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit the client's priorities, preferences, and daily life. Expect discussion about practical steps and small experiments to test what helps.
