Latoria Murphy, LCSW

Latoria Murphy, LCSW, helps people facing big life changes and relationship worries. She focuses on practical steps to ease stress, improve communication, and rebuild self-esteem. Her style is warm and straightforward so people can talk about what matters most without jargon.

She works with adults who are dealing with relationship and family strain, trauma and abuse, and the kinds of midlife questions that shake routines and plans. She also supports people wrestling with isolation, social anxiety, money concerns, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation. Sessions emphasize small, doable changes and clearer choices.

Latoria uses a mix of approaches that match each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shape unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-focused ideas help when patterns from early relationships are getting in the way of current connections.

Her work includes mindfulness skills and emotion-focused tools to help people stay present and manage strong feelings. She centers clients' cultural backgrounds and life stories when planning next steps. The goal is more clarity, steadier relationships, and a stronger sense of self.

Latoria holds a Florida LCSW and has three years of clinical experience. She aims to make therapy approachable and practical. People who want to talk through midlife shifts, relationship struggles, or healing after trauma will find a calm and focused partner in therapy.

How Latoria’s approaches translate to online work

Latoria uses approaches that help people notice what matters and change unhelpful patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to accept difficult feelings while committing to values-based action; it can help when life changes feel overwhelming. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people form healthier ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most for relationship concerns, trauma recovery, or midlife transitions.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and have more flexible scheduling. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that focus on skill practice rather than paperwork. Licensed professionals aim to tailor online work to everyday life and to the practical needs of each person.
