About Latosha
Latosha Kessell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Latosha also addresses issues such as chronic pain and illness, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.
She approaches sessions as practical conversations about what is happening now and what matters to the client. Latosha uses methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and the Gottman Method to help people notice thoughts, practice new skills, and respond differently to difficult memories and emotions.
Sessions focus on clear steps clients can try between meetings. That can mean learning grounding and emotion-regulation skills, reworking unhelpful thinking patterns, or practicing communication moves for strained relationships. For people dealing with trauma, she may use EMDR techniques to address distressing memories while combining skills from DBT and ACT to manage feelings in the moment.
Latosha works with multicultural concerns, veteran and armed forces issues, postpartum depression, self-love, and women's issues when these come up in adult clients' lives. She frames therapy as collaborative and goal-oriented, helping clients decide which methods fit their situation.
If someone is carrying guilt or shame about past actions, identity, family, or faith, Latosha helps them name those feelings, understand how they show up, and try practical ways to respond differently going forward.
How online sessions use evidence-based approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for persistent shame or guilt that narrows what someone will do next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and build different habits. That approach often helps with anxiety, low mood, and relationship patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) works with distressing memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing; it is often used when past traumatic events continue to cause strong emotional reactions.Figuring out which method to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, current concerns, and preferences, and then recommend approaches to try together. The selection of tools is collaborative and may change as needs shift over time.
Confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing meetings from different locations. They also make shorter check-ins possible and can let clients avoid being on camera when they prefer not to be. Ask about the practical arrangements and session length when scheduling so sessions fit everyday routines.
