LaToya Bivins

LaToya Bivins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 10 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, and depression. LaToya also addresses trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, and life purpose questions. Her approach is straightforward and goal-focused. She uses conversation to identify what's getting in the way and practical strategies to change patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a primary tool she uses to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can take between meetings. That might include small behavior changes, new ways of speaking about problems, or experiments to test what works. LaToya works with issues such as body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and workplace challenges. She brings attention to how past experiences, including trauma and military-related concerns, can affect current relationships and daily functioning. LaToya also supports people working through forgiveness, self-love, and recovery from post-traumatic stress. For people facing questions about what comes next - career moves, shifting relationships, or a search for life purpose - LaToya offers practical coaching and therapeutic conversation to help clients clarify options and try new paths.

How CBT and practical therapy translate to online sessions

LaToya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a main approach. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with self-esteem and motivation.

In online sessions she would use the same practical tone as in person: talk through current problems, try concrete strategies, and set short between-session tasks. This collaborative process helps clients and the therapist decide which techniques fit best for a particular concern or goal.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will help figure out whether CBT strategies, behavior-focused experiments, or coaching-style conversations best match a client's needs and preferences. That decision is made together and can shift over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow for quicker check-ins, and make it simpler to continue care when travel or relocation happens. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises to remote sessions, using discussion, worksheets, and brief between-session assignments to keep progress moving.
