Latoria Murphy , LCSW

Latoria Murphy is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, and major life changes. She offers straightforward support for people coping with trauma, isolation, and the stress of caregiving. Latoria speaks English and practices in Florida as an LCSW.

Her sessions focus on clear, practical steps people can use between meetings. She helps clients notice patterns in relationships and communication. She also works with people dealing with guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose.

Latoria uses a mix of approaches to meet each person where they are. She draws on attachment-based work to look at important relationship patterns. She also uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

She brings a trauma-informed perspective to the work. That means she pays attention to how past hurt affects current choices and feelings. The aim is to build resilience and stronger coping skills over time.

Latoria often supports people navigating separation or divorce, pregnancy and childbirth, midlife shifts, and financial stress. She also helps with social anxiety, loneliness, and rebuilding self-love after difficult experiences. Conversations are tailored to what each person needs in the moment.

Her style is grounded and culturally aware. She focuses on listening, improving communication, and helping clients set achievable goals. People leave sessions with concrete strategies to try between meetings.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Latoria commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, which can help with trust and closeness issues.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. She will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. If something does not feel right, she adjusts the plan so the work stays useful and manageable.

Online therapy with her uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messages are helpful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when someone needs shorter, more frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule or to continue work during life transitions.
