About Latosha

Latosha Kessell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, grief, and depression. She frames the work around each person's strengths and lived experience. Her tone is encouraging, and she aims to support people taking the first steps toward change.

She approaches therapy as a collaborative effort. Latosha uses a mix of methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns, learn skills for distress, and process painful memories. That can look like practicing new ways of reacting, learning present-moment skills, or working through trauma at a pace that feels tolerable.

With 11 years of experience as an LPC, she draws on practical tools alongside deeper processing work. People commonly address life transitions such as divorce and midlife shifts, coping with chronic illness or pain, and the fallout from loss or abuse. Latosha also brings attention to issues like shame, guilt, isolation, and questions about life purpose.

Sessions focus on concrete changes people can use between appointments. Clients may work on emotion regulation skills, communication strategies, or steps toward forgiving themselves or others. The work often combines short-term skill-building with longer work on meaning and healing.

She works in English and practices in Texas. Beginning therapy with Latosha starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that fits the person’s calendar.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based actions. It often supports those feeling stuck, overwhelmed by anxiety, or unsure of their next life step. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to teach concrete coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for regulating intense emotions and improving relationships through clear behavioral tools.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will choose or combine methods that make the most sense for the situation. This happens in a collaborative way so the plan feels doable and relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full session would be hard to schedule. It can also let people use skill practice right where daily life happens, while the therapist helps apply approaches like ACT, CBT, or DBT to real situations.
