Latoya Love

Latoya Love is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri. She centers her work on Trauma-Focused Therapy while also using client-centered and solution-focused methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.

She earned a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Missouri - Kansas City in 2009 and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Webster University in 2013. She has been working in mental health for over a decade and has held her LPC credential for 11 years. Her background includes both clinical roles and community-focused work that shaped her interest in whole-person care.

Latoya takes a strength-based, solution-focused stance in sessions. That means she helps people identify what is already working and build small, achievable steps from there. She also uses trauma-focused strategies when past abuse or traumatic events affect daily life and relationships.

She describes her perspective as holistic, connecting mental health to other parts of life. She is especially committed to normalizing conversations about mental health in the Black community and addressing multicultural concerns. Her practice also includes work around parenting, grief, self-esteem, and issues such as adoption, body image, chronic illness, and post-traumatic stress.

People who meet with her can expect a collaborative, compassionate approach. She aims to help clients show up for themselves more consistently, develop clearer goals, and practice manageable self-care. She invites interested people to start by completing the site’s matching process and scheduling according to availability.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Latoya uses Trauma-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding how past traumatic events affect current feelings and behaviors and on building coping skills to manage those responses. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and validating what a person is experiencing while helping them find their own solutions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and goals to create change in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. She works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift over time as challenges change and progress is made.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since formats are not detailed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also help people remain consistent with therapy while balancing work, family, and medical needs.
