About Latoya
Latoya Love is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 11 years of licensed practice. She works with people facing trauma and abuse, anxiety and depression, self-esteem and identity concerns, and issues common to young adults navigating life changes.
She uses Client-Centered and Solution-Focused methods to help people set goals and try small, practical changes. Latoya also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems when trauma or painful past experiences are central to the work. Sessions tend to focus on clear steps and personal strengths rather than on lengthy theory.
Her background includes a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Missouri - Kansas City and an M.A. in Counseling from Webster University in St. Louis. Latoya has worked in the mental health field for more than a decade and has spent much of her time helping people process grief, parenting stresses, and the fallout from abuse and sexual assault.
She pays attention to issues that intersect with culture, race, and immigration, and she lists multicultural concerns and prejudice as areas she addresses. Latoya also supports people dealing with chronic illness, body image, and the practical strain of parenting while managing mental health.
People who reach out can expect a direct, goal-oriented style that still attends to the impact of trauma. She encourages straightforward conversations about what is getting in the way of daily functioning and works with clients to build manageable next steps.
How Latoya’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s perspective and focuses on listening and reflective conversation. It helps when someone needs a place to sort out feelings, identity questions, or relationship and life changes in early adulthood.Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical steps and small experiments to change how daily life feels. It is useful for short-term goals like adjusting to a first job, managing study-related stress, or improving sleep and routines.
Latoya also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past harm affects current functioning. That approach pays attention to how traumatic events show up now and aims to reduce their ongoing impact on mood, behavior, and relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and will help decide whether a client-centered conversation, solution-focused steps, or trauma-focused work fits best. This is a collaborative decision made over the first few sessions.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study or work schedules, reduce travel time, and let people choose quieter surroundings or shorter check-ins as needed. Ask about session length and how the first appointment is scheduled so therapy can fit into everyday life.
