How these approaches translate to online care
Latoya often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can help with anger, anxiety, and making steady choices during life changes.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice new behaviors. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and mood swings by breaking big problems into small steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Latoya will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on progress and feedback.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use gesture and facial cues for deeper connection. Phone sessions or live chat work well when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to be shorter. Text-based messaging can support quick check-ins and skill practice between full sessions. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
