About LaToya
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois with 11 years of experience, LaToya Tanniehill helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, and life changes. She works with adults and adolescents from diverse backgrounds and focuses on practical support as clients manage day-to-day demands.
LaToya sees clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or tired of just pushing through. She uses clear, workable tools and talks through what’s getting in the way of feeling better. Sessions focus on concrete skills for stress and anxiety management, improving self-esteem and boundaries, and navigating career or caregiving strain.
Her methods include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. That means she listens for what matters most to each person, identifies thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress, explores emotions around relationships, and teaches mindfulness and motivational strategies to support change.
LaToya describes the work as collaborative and practical. She offers steps and homework that many clients can use between sessions. The focus is on small, achievable changes that add up over time.
Clients are guided through goals like building healthier boundaries, coping with grief, reducing social anxiety, and improving intimacy-related concerns. She also addresses caregiver stress, control issues, forgiveness, isolation, life purpose, and self-love as part of broader treatment work.

How her methods fit into online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and understanding your priorities. In sessions the therapist reflects your concerns, asks clarifying questions, and supports your chosen goals. This approach helps when you need a space to sort feelings and decide what matters next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online work with CBT often includes identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying behavioral experiments, and using short exercises between meetings to reduce anxiety or improve mood.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognize and name emotions tied to relationship patterns. In remote sessions this can mean tracking emotional responses, practicing new ways of communicating, and exploring how emotions shape interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose which methods to use based on your goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean mixing techniques so the work is practical and focused on what you want to change.
