About LaToshia
LaToshia Spearing is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 21 years in the mental health field and over 15 years in private practice. She works with adults facing relationship strain, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting concerns, and changes that come with blended households. She also addresses trauma and abuse, anger, stress, and issues related to identity and intimacy.
Her approach borrows from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral work, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. In sessions she focuses on clear goals and practical steps. Conversations typically look at current behaviors, thinking patterns, and ways to handle difficult moments differently.
Clients can expect a direct style that emphasizes problem-solving and skill building. She uses proven techniques to reduce symptoms of mood disorders and to manage conflict, communication problems, and parenting stress. Sessions also cover grief, abandonment concerns, and the specific strain of merging households.
LaToshia draws on a master’s degree in counseling from Webster University and a bachelor’s in psychology from the College of Charleston. Her work includes experience with addiction-related behaviors, attachment issues, and both acute and long-term stressors. She supports people working through career questions and self-esteem struggles as well.
She notes that therapy takes commitment and practical effort between sessions. Those interested in starting are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment to outline goals and next steps.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s goals and perspective at the center; it involves active listening and shaping plans around what matters to the client and their household. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that help with intense emotions and relationship conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences and help identify which methods suit the issues you bring. That process is collaborative and can shift as needs change.
