About Latoya
Latoya Love is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 11 years of counseling experience. She works with people facing trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, and challenges around self-esteem and parenting. She also addresses life purpose questions and concerns tied to adoption, grief, chronic illness, identity, and discrimination.
Latoya uses client-centered and solution-focused methods to help clients identify practical next steps. She applies trauma-focused work when past hurt affects daily life. Sessions emphasize clear goals and skills that can be used between meetings.
Her approach looks at how mental health shows up across daily life. That can mean talking through self-care struggles, addressing compassion fatigue, or helping someone manage anger and difficult relationships. She also supports people wrestling with body image, forgiveness, immigration-related stress, and issues tied to early care or adoption.
Latoya draws on Internal Family Systems concepts to help people notice different internal parts and how they influence behavior. She pairs that with solution-focused techniques when clients want concrete change in a few areas. The work is practical and paced to the person's needs.
Latoya trained in counseling at Webster University and holds a B.A. in psychology from the University of Missouri - Kansas City. Her practice foregrounds multicultural concerns and recognizes how prejudice and discrimination shape mental health. Sessions are offered in English and provided from Missouri.
How her approaches shape online work
Latoya uses client-centered therapy to focus on the client's priorities and lived experience. This approach means sessions start with the client's concerns and move at their pace, useful for exploring life purpose or daily self-care challenges.She also uses trauma-focused therapy to address the effects of past abuse or violence. Trauma-focused work looks at how memories and reactions show up now, and it teaches skills to reduce distress and build tolerance for difficult feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Latoya will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice is revisited as progress is made and priorities change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins between in-person visits, or reduce travel time. Many people find remote visits help them try therapy with fewer scheduling barriers, and the therapist will discuss practical arrangements when you begin.
