About Latoria

Latoria Murphy provides therapy for people facing relationship strain, family challenges, trauma, and major life changes. She focuses on helping clients strengthen self-esteem, manage social anxiety, and find practical ways to navigate transitions while addressing underlying patterns that contribute to recurring stress.

Background and approach

Her work centers on collaboration, meeting each person where they are, and supporting clearer communication and healthier boundaries. With a trauma-informed lens, Latoria integrates tools that promote resilience and emotional regulation alongside deeper exploration of attachment and relational patterns.

She draws on evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused approaches to tailor interventions that fit individual needs. Her aim is to help clients translate insight into everyday coping strategies and improved relationships.

Licensed as an LCSW in Florida, she brings three years of professional experience to her practice and attends to concerns like caregiver stress, forgiveness, financial stressors, pregnancy and childbirth adjustment, and women’s issues. Sessions emphasize empathic listening, practical skill-building, and paced healing so people can regain a clearer sense of purpose and self-love.

Therapeutic methods and online access

Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helpful for identifying unhelpful thoughts and building concrete skills to reduce anxiety or improve mood; this approach emphasizes practical exercises and reframing patterns that maintain distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to act in ways that align with those values while accepting difficult emotions, which can be useful for life transitions and coping with ongoing stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns formed early in life to improve current relationships and emotional regulation, often supporting work around communication and intimacy.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to consider goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in sessions, adjusting techniques over time to better match progress and needs.

Online therapy with Latoria is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to enhance convenience and continuity of care. These options allow scheduling flexibility, easier access from different locations within Florida, and the ability to choose a format that fits daily life and comfort while working toward therapeutic goals.
