About Latoria

Latoria Murphy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.

Murphy helps people who are dealing with communication problems, attachment issues, caregiver stress, and the fallout from divorce or separation. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). In practice she leans toward straightforward conversation and collaborative goal-setting.

Her work often centers on practical steps to reduce social anxiety, manage guilt and shame, and rebuild trust after trauma. Clients can expect to talk about specific situations, try out new ways of communicating, and practice small behavioral changes between sessions.

Murphy also addresses life-stage concerns like midlife reassessment, pregnancy and childbirth transitions, money stress, and questions about life purpose. She supports people who feel isolated or who are working on self-love and forgiveness.

She frames therapy around the client’s values and daily life. The emphasis is on skills and insights that carry over into routine moments, such as family conversations, work stress, or parenting demands. To begin, follow the site’s process to match and schedule a first session.

How these approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. It is often used for life changes, anxiety, and building consistent habits that matter to the client.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current behavior. It helps with communication problems, attachment issues, and rebuilding trust after relational hurt.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It is practical for social anxiety, self-esteem work, and coping strategies for everyday stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can shift approaches as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Confirm available session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a workday break, or meetings that remove travel time. They also let clients practice skills in real-world routines and bring immediate examples from daily life into the session.
