About LaTonya
LaTonya Mangum, LCSW, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, and relationship struggles. She focuses on practical steps that reduce overwhelm and restore a sense of control. Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth, aimed at real change rather than jargon.
With 11 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina, she draws on several approaches to match each person’s needs. Sessions center on understanding how past relationships shape current feelings, and on building skills for calmer thinking and clearer communication.
Background and approach
She adjusts pacing and techniques to fit each person’s situation. LaTonya uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to help people examine patterns that come from early relationships. She also applies tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address difficult thoughts and emotions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when people need practical strategies for emotion regulation. Conversations are collaborative and goal-oriented. LaTonya aims to make therapy straightforward - identifying one or two change targets and practicing new ways of responding between sessions.
She respects each person’s pace while encouraging small, steady steps. People who come for help often want better communication, relief from persistent worry, or to move past lingering hurt from breakup or betrayal. LaTonya supports clients as they build clearer boundaries, manage strong emotions, and reconnect with what matters to them.

Online support
How attachment work and practical therapies translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotional patterns. Online work can help people recognize those patterns, name the feelings that come up, and practice new ways of relating in everyday life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and values-driven action rather than trying to eliminate difficult feelings; it helps when anxiety or low mood holds someone back from meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus more on understanding relationship patterns, on acceptance and values, or on concrete thinking and behavior changes, and they adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls let people meet face-to-face for deep conversations, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching between appointments. These options help fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
