Latoya Love, LPC

Latoya Love is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who focuses on practical, strengths-based work. She helps people who struggle to show up for themselves each day, with attention to self-care and mental health. Her approach centers on solutions and building on what already works for each person.

She brings 11 years of licensed counseling experience and over a decade in the mental health field. Latoya uses trauma-focused methods when addressing histories of abuse and post-traumatic stress. She combines that with Client-Centered and Solution-Focused work to keep sessions grounded and goal-oriented.

Latoya often supports people coping with anxiety, stress, depression, and low self-esteem. She also helps those facing grief, compassion fatigue, anger, and challenges related to parenting or young adulthood. Chronic pain, illness, and disability are listed among her additional focus areas, as are issues like body image, adoption and foster care, and immigration concerns.

Her style is practical and person-centered. Sessions typically aim to identify small, achievable steps and adapt strategies to everyday life. She emphasizes normalizing mental health conversations within the Black community and attends to multicultural concerns and the effects of prejudice and discrimination.

Latoya values collaboration and coaching alongside therapy. People who prefer a straightforward, strength-based plan with trauma-informed attention may find her approach helpful. She works in English and practices in Missouri as an LPC.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person and their own goals. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people make choices that fit their values and daily life. This approach is often useful for self-esteem, life purpose, and day-to-day decision making.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and short-term goals. Sessions identify small changes that move a person toward their desired outcome. This method can help with stress, burnout, coaching needs, and managing anxiety with concrete actions.

Trauma-Focused work addresses the effects of abuse and post-traumatic stress by creating safety and pacing healing. It aims to reduce the ways past trauma disrupts daily functioning and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This is an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time decision, and plans are adjusted as progress is made.

Confirm session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. It also lets people participate from different locations within the therapist’s permitted area, helping therapy match day-to-day routines.
