LaToya Tanniehill

LaToya Tanniehill is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and the strain of daily life. She writes plainly and listens with patience so clients can talk about what’s hardest for them. Her style is practical and supportive, aimed at helping people feel more in control and more like themselves again.

LaToya understands how juggling work, family, and personal needs can feel overwhelming. She meets people where they are and offers tools to reduce anxiety, cope with grief, and navigate life changes. Sessions emphasize achievable steps, clearer boundaries, and small shifts that add up over time.

Her methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and emotionally focused work that looks at how feelings shape relationships. Motivational Interviewing is used when clients want help finding motivation for change. The work is collaborative and tailored to each person’s goals.

Over 11 years LaToya has supported people from varied backgrounds across Illinois. She uses empathy alongside practical techniques, and she helps people develop skills they can use day to day. Issues she commonly addresses include self-esteem, career stress, control issues, and caregiver strain.

To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and LaToya does not accept international clients.

How LaToya’s approaches translate to online work

LaToya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. This approach often helps with anxiety, anger, and low mood by breaking problems into manageable steps. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, validation, and building a trusting connection so clients can explore what matters most to them.

Motivational Interviewing is another tool she brings when people want to find or strengthen their motivation to change habits or make decisions. All approaches are presented simply and adapted to each person’s goals. Deciding which methods to use is collaborative; she and the client discuss what feels most useful and adjust as work progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow sessions to fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, and make shorter check-ins possible when needed. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions around your routine and goals so therapy fits into everyday life.
