About LaTonya
LaTonya Mangum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Her practice also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency, and family-of-origin conflicts.
She prefers practical conversation and clear goals during sessions. Sessions focus on improving communication, managing intense feelings, and rebuilding confidence. She uses a mix of techniques to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding.
Her approach draws on evidence-informed methods while keeping sessions straightforward. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Attachment-Based Therapy is used when past relationships shape current reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas help clarify values and move toward meaningful action. Client-Centered Therapy principles guide a respectful, person-led process.
LaTonya asks clients to set practical goals they can work on between meetings. She emphasizes steps that can fit into everyday life, such as small communication experiments or brief emotion-regulation practices. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small actions that align with those values. It can help when feeling directionless after big life changes by turning values into concrete steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. In short online sessions this approach can be used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different responses to stress and anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then suggest methods to try together. This is a collaborative decision that can change as needs evolve.
Formats for sessions are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find video helpful for face-to-face conversation, while phone work can be simpler when bandwidth or on-camera time is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt the pacing and tools to work in an online setting.
