Latoya Johnson has been a blessing in my life. She has a heart for the Job that she does. The most powerful thing I like about her is that she listens and allows me to explore what ever emotions I’m feeling at the time. The Job that she does is not just a Job it’s her passion.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Ive been doing therapy for 1 month now and it really does help to have someone to talk to. The internal work is up to the person but I know the rest helps coming from a caring and understanding therapist who can help problem solve and break down things you cant on your own. Latoya has been a pleasure to work with and I enjoy our sessions together. I cant say enough about how its helped me see things about myself I dont see.

As someone who was new to therapy, I was nervous. However, Latoya has blown all of my expectations of therapy out of the water. I couldn’t thank her enough for what she has taught me about myself!

This is my second therapy experience and so far I’ve completed first session with Latoya, but I feel so fortunate that she is my therapist! My mind is everywhere but she understood the main point, noticed how I said what I said and ask questions to uncover more info about myself naturally. I can tell she’s very knowledgeable.
