About Latosha

Latosha Kessell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She speaks plainly and offers steady support for people ready to take first steps toward change. Her style centers on practical skills and compassionate listening to help clients move forward.

With 11 years of experience, she builds on clients' strengths and respects each person as the expert of their own life. Latosha works to create a space where people can name what matters to them and try new ways of coping. She encourages small, concrete steps that fit into everyday life.

Her approach draws on mindfulness-based work alongside evidence-informed therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. These methods are used to reduce overwhelm, manage emotions, and process painful memories at a pace that feels safe.

She also addresses issues like chronic pain and illness, divorce and separation, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose and midlife transitions, postpartum depression, self-love, and concerns that arise across cultures and military life. Latosha believes therapy is a collaboration and adapts tools to each person's needs.

How mindfulness and therapy work online

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on helping people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgment. It often teaches short practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm, which can help with anxiety, stress, and persistent low mood.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take actions that align with those values. It mixes acceptance strategies with practical behavior changes to address avoidance, worry, and unclear life direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches skills to shift them. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems by practicing new responses in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That conversation guides whether mindfulness, ACT, CBT, or other techniques become the main focus.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also allows sessions when someone needs a shorter check-in or prefers not to be on camera. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking so the scheduling matches your needs. Online sessions let people try therapeutic tools from wherever they are and then practice those tools between meetings.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
