About LaToya
LaToya Tanniehill is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois with 11 years of experience. She works with adults who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, health, or family life. Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and questions about life purpose.
LaToya uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people name what matters and take small steps forward. She draws on client-centered work to listen without judgment and to help people set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy tools support understanding and expressing feelings in relationships.
In sessions she also integrates mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing to increase awareness and commitment to change. She helps people practice skills for coping with anger, managing caregiving stress, and handling control issues. Work often focuses on improving self-esteem, building boundaries, and addressing isolation or social anxiety.
Her background includes treating trauma and abuse, supporting those coping with loss, and offering coaching-style support around career and life transitions. People can expect direct conversation, practical skill-building, and collaborative problem solving. Sessions aim to be steady and focused rather than motivational or overly abstract.

How her approaches translate to online work
LaToya commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy involves listening closely to what matters to the person and helping them set their own goals; it supports people who feel unsure about next steps. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice, name, and work with emotions in relationship concerns and intimacy-related issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, then suggest techniques to try. That collaborative process helps narrow which methods fit best for stress, grief, career questions, or relationship strain.
