About Latoria
Latoria Murphy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing relationship stress, life transitions, and self-worth struggles. She focuses on clear, practical steps that make day-to-day life feel more manageable. Clients can expect calm listening and straightforward guidance that fits their priorities.
She works with concerns like trauma and abuse, communication problems, and caregiver stress. Latoria uses everyday language to help people name what is hard and try small changes that add up.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how attachment and past experiences shape current reactions and relationships. Her style blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thinking and emotionally-focused ideas to deepen connection and understanding.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to help people act in line with their values even when feelings are intense. With three years of clinical experience, she brings a trauma-informed lens to sessions. She aims to create a compassionate, culturally aware space where people can explore shame, guilt, or isolation without judgment.
Latoria is licensed in Florida as an LCSW. Typical topics include divorce and separation, parenting and caregiver strain, midlife concerns, and issues around money or life purpose. She also supports those working on self-love, social anxiety, and pregnancy or postpartum adjustments.
Sessions focus on practical steps, improved communication, and building everyday resilience.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It is useful for life changes, low motivation, and ongoing anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people try different ways of connecting. It is often used for recurring relationship patterns and communication problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and reshaping emotional responses between people, which can improve closeness and dialogue.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through what feels most useful and adapt techniques to a person’s goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice-only check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, short reflections, or when writing helps process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to try different formats as needs shift.
