About LaToshia

LaToshia Spearing is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina who helps people facing relationship stress, grief, anxiety, and major life changes. She offers calm practical support for people working through intimacy issues, parenting strain, or feelings tied to abandonment and trauma. Her style is straightforward and focused on real steps that fit everyday life.

She draws on client-centered methods to meet each person where they are. That means listening first, then tailoring tools that suit individual needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices are brought in when emotion regulation and present-moment skills are needed.

With more than 21 years in the mental health field and a background that includes a Master’s degree in Counseling, she has long worked with mood struggles such as depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety. Her experience also covers family-of-origin issues, communication and commitment problems, and challenges related to adoption or foster care.

Clients can expect practical skills for anger management, coping with life transitions, and improving communication. She also addresses sexual concerns, grief and loss, and stress from caregiving roles. Work is collaborative and paced to what each person can manage.

LaToshia asks people to take the first steps by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a session. Services are provided in English and are offered through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapy approaches guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person first. The therapist listens with curiosity and reflects back what she hears. This helps clarify goals and build a plan that feels doable for each person.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and help with relationship patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are useful for people who struggle with strong mood swings, anger, or patterns of conflict.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. Sessions begin by identifying priorities and then testing techniques to see what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. The platform details aren’t listed here, so checking available formats is recommended. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use breaks or evenings for appointments.
