About LaToya

LaToya Larke is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience supporting people through significant life transitions and emotional challenges. Licensed to practice in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, she centers her work on culturally responsive care and has a particular focus on empowering Black women and others seeking affirming mental health support.

Her clinical focus includes treating depression and anxiety, improving relationship dynamics, and guiding clients through career shifts. She also helps clients address stress, self-love, communication difficulties, social anxiety, workplace concerns, and the emotional impacts of divorce or caregiving responsibilities. LaToya approaches each person holistically, helping to clarify purpose, confront limiting beliefs, and develop practical coping strategies.

LaToya combines compassion with collaborative problem solving, creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences and build resilience. She works with individuals to strengthen self-compassion, improve communication, and create actionable plans for lasting change, all aimed at helping clients move toward a more authentic and balanced life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the individual's own goals and values. In this approach the therapist listens closely and supports clients as they explore identity, self-love, and personal purpose, which can be especially helpful for people wrestling with life direction, low self-esteem, or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is well suited to addressing anxiety, depression, and workplace stress by teaching practical skills for reframing thoughts and developing healthier reactions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches strategies for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can assist clients facing strong emotional reactions, communication challenges, or cycles of self-criticism and shame.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. LaToya will work with each client to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and situation, and she often blends techniques to meet evolving needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can meet with licensed professionals by video call or phone, or connect through live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access consistent support from wherever clients are located within the permitted service area.
