Latosha Kessell , LPC

Latosha Kessell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience and licensure in both Texas and Colorado. She specializes in supporting people who are navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression, and she also addresses related concerns such as chronic pain and illness, divorce and separation, feelings of emptiness, and issues tied to midlife and life purpose. Her practice integrates a range of evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and the Gottman Method to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Working from a strengths-based perspective, she sees clients as the experts of their own stories and focuses on building practical skills and resilience around existing strengths. Latosha emphasizes collaboration - helping clients identify meaningful goals, explore options, and take concrete steps toward a more fulfilling life. She conducts therapy in English and aims to create a supportive, empowering environment for people facing a wide range of emotional and life challenges.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting locked into them and then choose actions that align with personal values - it can be useful for anxiety, chronic pain, and life transitions). Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve coping with stress). Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR is a structured approach used to process distressing memories and reduce the emotional intensity tied to traumatic experiences, often used for trauma and abuse recovery).

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Latosha works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts treatment as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and practical for each person.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel needs, and maintain continuity when life circumstances change. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver many evidence-based interventions effectively through these formats, supporting access and consistency while clients work toward their goals.
