Latoya Rivers, LCSW

Latoya Rivers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia who supports adults navigating relationship challenges, shifts in identity, career transitions, grief, parenting concerns, and caregiving stress. She draws on client-centered and solution-focused principles to create a practical, strengths-based path toward change. Latoya emphasizes each person’s lived experience and values as the starting point for growth, helping clients identify what matters most and build on existing resources.

Her approach is collaborative and nonjudgmental, designed to help people feel heard, gain clarity, and move forward when decisions feel overwhelming or progress stalls. Sessions focus on realistic goals, actionable steps, and the client’s own resilience, whether the work centers on intimacy-related issues, family dynamics, career direction, or managing anger and compassion fatigue.

Latoya brings three years of clinical experience to her practice and frames therapy as a partnership in which clients guide the pace and focus of change. She offers several ways to connect for care and currently accepts clients who reside in Virginia only.

Client-Centered and Solution-Focused Care Online

Latoya Rivers uses client-centered therapy to place the client's values, choices, and experiences at the heart of the work. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to explore feelings, clarify priorities, and make decisions that fit their life circumstances. Solution-focused therapy is oriented toward practical steps and short-term goals, making it useful for clients seeking concrete progress on relationship issues, career moves, or coping with life changes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Latoya collaborates with each person to determine what methods fit best. She works with clients to set goals, test small changes, and adjust strategies based on real-world results so the plan reflects the client's needs, preferences, and pacing.

Online therapy with Latoya can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to keep consistent appointments, maintain momentum between sessions, and access a licensed professional from home or work without added travel time.
