About LaToya
LaToya Tanniehill is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She connects with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from trying to handle everything on their own. LaToya aims to offer a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly and start to feel more steady.
She uses straightforward, practical tools in sessions so people leave with things they can try between meetings. LaToya draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and emotionally focused ideas to address upsetting thoughts, relationship strain, and low self-esteem. Sessions often include skill practice, goal-setting, and moments to reflect on what matters most.
With 11 years of experience, LaToya has supported people through grief, trauma, parenting challenges, caregiver stress, and career-related concerns. She combines empathy with concrete strategies to help clients manage anger, control issues, or feelings of isolation. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, focused on what will work in everyday life.
People who are juggling work and family responsibilities may find her approach practical and accessible. LaToya emphasizes building small routines and communication habits that reduce pressure and improve relationships. She encourages gradual change rather than overnight fixes.
To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. LaToya works with English-speaking clients and practices in Illinois as an LCSW.
How LaToya’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person in front of the therapist. It helps when someone needs a respectful, nonjudgmental space to sort things out and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and helps people practice new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety or low mood.LaToya will work collaboratively to find the right approach for each person. She starts by asking about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the client and therapist decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
