Latosha Kessell, LPC

Latosha Kessell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship struggles. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Latosha approaches work with respect for each person’s story and strengths. She encourages small, realistic changes that add up over time.

With 11 years of experience, Latosha draws on several therapy methods to match how a person prefers to work. She uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, and EMDR for clients processing traumatic memories when appropriate.

People seeking help for chronic pain, illness, or disability can find strategies for daily coping and emotional adjustment. She also addresses life transitions such as divorce, postpartum depression, and midlife reevaluation. Veteran and multicultural concerns are also among her focus areas.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Latosha helps clients set goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track small wins. She frames setbacks as information rather than failure.

Clients in Texas may begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. The therapist uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time; confirm current session options when booking.

How these approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and managing chronic health challenges by turning values into concrete actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It tends to be hands-on and structured, which can be helpful for stress, worry, and mood concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to process painful memories; when appropriate it can reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That means testing what helps, adjusting as needed, and building a plan together rather than promising one fixed path.

Confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during transitional moments. Some formats are better for short coaching-style check-ins, while others suit longer therapy sessions or EMDR protocols; discuss practical needs and preferences when scheduling to find the best match.
