About Latosha
Latosha Kessell is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor, licensed in Texas and with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are handling stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She also focuses on life purpose, chronic illness and pain, divorce and separation, and other concerns that can leave people feeling stuck or emptied out.
Latosha sees people who want practical ways to cope rather than abstract talk. She uses approaches derived from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and the Gottman Method to address emotion, thinking patterns, and relationship interactions. Sessions typically include talking through current problems, noticing unhelpful patterns, and trying concrete skills to change how day-to-day life feels.
She frames the client as the expert in their own story and works together with them to build on existing strengths. That means setting small, doable steps and checking what helps in real life. Latosha explains methods plainly and reviews what to expect in session so people can decide if a particular technique makes sense for them.
For someone questioning what matters next after a job change, separation, health setback, or other life shift, she helps sort priorities and values. Conversations may cover guilt, shame, loneliness, or parenting stress that follows separation, always focused on the individual's goals. The work can include emotion regulation skills, cognitive strategies, and relationship skills drawn from the Gottman approach.
She practices in Texas and works in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session arrangements and scheduling details before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action toward them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It helps when someone is unsure what matters next or feels stuck between choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and repetitive negative patterns. EMDR is a method used to process distressing memories by pairing focused attention with guided bilateral stimulation; it is often used for trauma and abuse-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That can mean starting with skills from CBT or DBT, then adding ACT values work or EMDR when the client and therapist agree it may help.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can still use interactive tools, worksheets, and skills coaching in virtual sessions to help people practice between appointments.
