About Toni
Toni McClure is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, grief, and life transitions. Toni aims to help clients find practical ways to feel steadier and move forward.
She uses a strengths-based style that keeps goals in view. Sessions often include problem-solving, clear steps, and tools clients can try between meetings. Toni also draws on cognitive behavioral and mindfulness ideas to help change unhelpful thinking and reduce reactivity.
Background and approach
Toni has a background working with trauma, survivors of assault, and people facing major life challenges. That experience shapes a careful, steady approach when clients are coping with painful memories or sudden changes. She helps people identify inner strengths and build skills to manage day-to-day demands.
In the room she listens, reflects, and helps clients set realistic goals. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused work guide short-term plans and action steps. The result is a practical, tailored plan that fits each person’s situation.
People who choose Toni can expect straightforward strategies, gentle challenge when needed, and attention to what matters most to them. She aims to help clients take small, reliable steps toward a healthier, more balanced life.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s goals. In practice this means sessions are guided by what matters most to the client, with the therapist reflecting back concerns and helping shape priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and adjust thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or depression; it often uses clear exercises and homework that work well between online sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what helps most over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video supports face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options give flexibility while still allowing the therapist to guide skill practice, track progress, and set realistic goals.
