About LaTonya
LaTonya Thomas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Mississippi with 16 years of experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and big life changes. She also supports people coping with caregiving, aging concerns, relationship and intimacy questions, and those trying to clarify life purpose.
LaTonya uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow a person's concerns, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy inform shorter-term goal work, while psychodynamic ideas can guide deeper reflection.
Sessions tend to be practical. LaTonya will listen, ask direct questions, and suggest small, testable changes to try between meetings. She also works with people who face mood disorders such as bipolar, as well as those dealing with sleeping or eating difficulties and workplace stress.
Her background is in social work and long-term clinical practice with diverse communities. That experience has included supporting people through trauma, Alzheimer and geriatric issues, and compassion fatigue among caregivers. She uses what she’s learned to help people sort through heavy feelings and make concrete adjustments in daily life.
People who come to LaTonya for help often want clear, usable steps and an honest sounding board. She encourages exploration of goals like career direction, improving relationships, and building steadier coping skills. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking and follow the practice's intake steps.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
LaTonya blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the concerns the person brings, which helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thinking and behavior patterns and offers concrete exercises to change them, useful for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss different methods and help decide which fits best based on the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change as the work progresses and is made collaboratively.
