Ms Thomas is wonderful and let’s me do things at my own pace. She regularly checks in on me when I’m avoiding situations and reminds me she’s there. Totally recommend her if you’re looking for someone to help you make healthier decisions.

LaTonya is the best. She respects what I say, listens and works with me as I process things. She even understands when I go silent and never interrupts me. In between sessions she messages me to make sure I am still okay and letting me know she is always in my corner. I would recommend her for anyone, especially for someone who has never had therapy.

Hello my name is LaTonya Thomas. I have been a social worker for over 17 years and have experience working with people from all different backgrounds who are struggling with a wide variety of challenges. Much of my experience has been working with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, Alzheimer and aging issues. The feedback I receive from clients is that they find me to be caring and nonjudgmental, and they appreciate that I am honest and direct with them. You can expect me to walk with you through whatever difficulties you are facing and help you learn more about yourself and the way you interact with the world.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
