She focuses on stress and anxiety and helps people who are managing relationship concerns, trauma, abuse, depression, and major life changes.

Background and approach
Tonya emphasizes clear communication and practical steps people can use between meetings. In appointments she listens for what matters most to each person and tailors the approach to those concerns. She helps people break down overwhelming problems into smaller, manageable pieces.
This can include strategies for coping with stress, calming anxious thoughts, and improving communication in relationships. Tonya offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time and costs vary with location and therapist availability.
Her work is collaborative - she supports people as they set goals and try new ways of handling old problems. If someone wants to begin, they can click the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule with her according to availability.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Tonya uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear skills and practical tools. One common approach involves teaching coping and relaxation strategies to reduce stress and manage anxiety. These are step-by-step techniques that help lower intense feelings and improve daily functioning.Another frequent focus is on processing trauma and related symptoms. This work centers on helping people name what happened, understand how it affects current thoughts and behaviors, and build safer ways of responding to triggers and reminders.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tonya collaborates with each person to identify priorities, try methods, and adjust based on what feels most helpful for their goals and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep consistent momentum toward goals.
