About LaTonya

LaTonya Hawkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who integrates cognitive behavioral approaches with client-centered care to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other life challenges.

Background and approach

With 18 years of experience, she emphasizes practical strategies and collaborative goal-setting to support individuals navigating relationship concerns, grief, trauma, addiction issues, and changes in career or family roles. Her practice balances evidence-informed techniques like CBT with motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods, adapting interventions to each person's priorities and strengths.

She aims to meet clients where they are, working together to clarify goals, address communication and intimacy concerns, and build healthier coping skills for issues such as ADHD, self-esteem struggles, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue.

Hawkins has worked in community programs, schools, faith-based organizations, and mental health agencies across Georgia, bringing a broad background in individual and family counseling. She offers several session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging, and guides people through a tailored therapeutic process that emphasizes progress, resilience, and meaningful change.

Bringing CBT and Client-Centered Care to Online Sessions

LaTonya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. This approach emphasizes structured techniques and homework to support change in daily habits and emotional responses.

She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on building a collaborative, empathetic relationship and helping clients explore their values, strengths, and goals at their own pace. Motivational Interviewing often complements these methods by helping people clarify their motivations and commit to actionable steps when facing ambivalence.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to determine which combination of strategies fits their circumstances, preferences, and goals, adjusting methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with her is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions and allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that work for them.
