Latosha Kessell

Latosha Kessell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship trouble, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Latosha also addresses concerns such as chronic pain and illness, divorce and separation, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose.

She frames clients as the experts on their stories and helps them build on existing strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear skills rather than abstract talk. Latosha aims to make the process straightforward so someone feeling stuck can take manageable next steps.

Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take committed action even when feelings are difficult. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and grounding tools for trauma work.

EMDR is included among her approaches for people processing traumatic memories. For relationship concerns she uses ideas from the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce recurring conflict. Sessions are practical and skills-focused with the goal of helping people manage everyday challenges.

Latosha works in Texas and conducts sessions in English. People interested in beginning can follow the site's booking steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment. If unsure about session options, confirm the current formats before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small actionable steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help when someone feels purposeless or stuck and wants direction without forcing quick fixes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that keep people stuck. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress when practical tools and homework are helpful.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides short, teachable skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal interactions. These tools are useful for handling frequent overwhelm and for steadying responses during conflict.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first based on their goals, history, and what feels doable. That choice can change as people try tools and notice what helps.

Confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they reduce travel time, allow appointments during workday breaks, and can make follow-up or shorter check-ins simpler. A therapist and client can agree together how to pace sessions and which tools to use between appointments.
