About LaTonya
LaTonya Mangum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 11 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. LaTonya describes additional focus on issues like abandonment, attachment wounds, codependency, and communication problems.
She keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented. Clients can expect to talk through patterns of behavior, notice what fuels anger or resentment, and practice small changes that reduce reactivity over time.
LaTonya uses several evidence-based methods including acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills drawn from dialectical behavior approaches. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to help people understand relationship patterns and how those patterns show up in day-to-day life.
Her work often centers on clearer communication, managing impulsivity, and rebuilding trust after things like infidelity or separation. She helps people name feelings such as guilt, shame, or emptiness, and then takes steps to change how those feelings influence choices.
Sessions are practical and paced to the person’s needs. The therapist and client set goals together and monitor progress. To begin, prospective clients use the site's matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to talk about what they want to address.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking actions that align with personal values. It can help when anger becomes a pattern that gets in the way of the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, emotions, and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and reduce reactive responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for managing impulsivity and strong reactions.Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose strategies that match their goals and preferences. Early sessions often focus on identifying what triggers anger and which skills fit day-to-day life.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The focus remains on practical tools and regular practice so skills learned in sessions can be used between meetings.
