Latoya LaGuerre , LCSW, CSW

Latoya LaGuerre is a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia with three years of professional experience. She focuses on practical, person-centered care that helps people untangle stress, anxiety, grief, and the strain of parenting. Latoya aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

In sessions she creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through what matters most. She listens closely and helps people name patterns that get in the way. Conversations are plainspoken and goal-focused so clients can try changes between sessions.

Latoya uses a mix of approaches to meet needs in the moment. She draws on client-centered work to follow the person’s priorities. She also uses tools from cognitive behavioral techniques to shift thoughts and behaviors that cause stress or low mood.

She has experience supporting people who have faced trauma and abuse, those dealing with family problems, and people coping with life transitions. Her practice also includes concerns such as addictions, ADHD, anger, and issues tied to identity and discrimination.

Latoya pays attention to multicultural concerns and the special pressures many women face. She works with parents and young adults on parenting stress, abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, and caregiver strain. The tone in the room is steady, practical, and respectful.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Latoya integrates client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities so goals come from what matters most. That approach helps when someone wants a space to explore feelings or make sense of family and identity concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers practical steps to change thought patterns and behaviors that keep stress and low mood going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and for skills around managing ADHD or addictions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Latoya will discuss different methods and adapt them based on a client's goals, needs, and preferences. The process is collaborative and paced to what the person feels ready to try.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, while phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, short coaching, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
