About LaToya
LaToya Tanniehill is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or major life changes. She speaks plainly and listens closely so parents and adults can describe what is hard and get practical next steps. Sessions focus on small, doable changes that fit real life.
LaToya offers straightforward support for worries about self-esteem, relationships, career stress, and intimacy-related concerns. She also helps people facing trauma, anger, caregiver strain, isolation, and struggles with forgiveness or control.
Background and approach
Her work is aimed at breaking unhelpful patterns and making daily life more manageable. Her style is collaborative and calm. She uses Client-Centered work to follow each person’s priorities and build trust.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot thoughts and habits that keep problems going, then test new ways of reacting. LaToya also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work with feelings in relationships. Mindfulness practices are woven in to create steadier attention and reduce reactivity.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who want change but feel stuck. With 11 years of experience, LaToya brings practical tools and encouragement to sessions. She practices in Illinois and holds the LCSW credential.
People can expect direct conversation, concrete skills, and steps to try between meetings. Her approach is paced to each person. The goal is not instant fixes but clearer choices and more reliable coping over time.
How her approaches work online
LaToya uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s priorities. This approach focuses on listening, understanding your goals, and shaping sessions around what matters most to you. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings and decide next steps.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems alive. In online sessions this looks like noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying small experiments, and tracking results between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when relationship patterns and intense feelings are central; it helps people name emotions and shift how they connect with others.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which approach fits their goals, needs, and comfort level. That plan can change as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not preferred. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or choose shorter, focused exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain momentum between meetings.
