LaToya Tanniehill , LCSW

LaToya Tanniehill is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and big life changes. LaToya aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where parents and caregivers can talk through what matters most to them.

She listens first, then helps people build practical skills for daily life. Sessions often include ways to manage anxiety, improve self-esteem, set boundaries, and cope with loss. LaToya also supports those facing caregiver stress, feelings of isolation, control issues, and questions about life purpose.

Her work blends client-centered conversation with structured tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. Emotionally-focused methods guide conversations about connection and closeness, while motivational interviewing helps with goal-setting and change. LaToya adapts these approaches to fit each person’s pace and priorities.

Clients can expect clear, down-to-earth guidance and small, doable steps between sessions. She emphasizes practical strategies that fit into busy lives rather than long theoretical talks. The approach is collaborative: the client’s goals shape the plan.

LaToya practices in Illinois and offers services in English. She notes a particular interest in caregiver issues and stress, and in helping people reconnect with self-love and purpose. To begin, readers should confirm session options and scheduling details before booking.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-centered therapy means the conversation starts with the client’s concerns and values. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to set goals and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs understanding and a plan that fits their life.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT helps people build skills they can use between sessions.

Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) centers on emotional connection and how feelings shape relationships. It can help people who want clearer communication and deeper closeness with others. Sessions use guided conversations to notice patterns and try new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan may change over time as progress is made.

For practical matters, please confirm what session formats LaToya currently offers before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can also use structured worksheets and between-session tasks to keep momentum between meetings.
