Latosha Kessell, LPC

Latosha Kessell, LPC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief, and painful relationship patterns. She speaks plainly and works alongside clients to untangle what feels stuck. Her focus is on practical steps clients can use between sessions to feel steadier week to week.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build different habits of thinking and acting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small, values-based steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance when reactions feel intense.

With 11 years of experience, she has supported people coping with trauma and abuse, postpartum depression, chronic illness, and the heavy feelings that follow divorce or loss. She also addresses issues like guilt, shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Her approach centers on clear goals and skills that can be practiced in daily life.

She holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential and is licensed in Texas. Sessions are offered in English and use a mix of talk, skill practice, and short assignments clients can try between meetings. The tone in sessions is direct but compassionate, aiming for steady progress rather than quick fixes.

If someone prefers, therapy can include EMDR work for trauma processing or Gottman-method ideas for improving communication. The focus stays practical: notice what is getting in the way, try a new response, and adjust based on what works.

Therapeutic tools you can use online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It helps when anxiety, low mood, or stressed thinking get in the way of daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy centers on what matters most to a person and on taking small, values-driven actions. It can help with feeling stuck, meaning questions, and persistent negative thinking.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and handling crises with short-term coping tools. These skills are useful when reactions feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will partner with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skill demonstrations, while phone calls can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support, or when someone prefers shorter written exchanges. Together these formats provide flexibility to practice skills and keep momentum between sessions.
