Background and approach
Tonya uses tools from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and try new behaviors. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. Solution-Focused Therapy helps when a client wants quick, concrete steps to move forward.
She often works with people dealing with family of origin issues, abandonment wounds, codependency, and problems after separation or infidelity. Other areas Tonya addresses include communication problems, control issues, dissociation, guilt and shame, immigration stress, and jealousy. Her style is respectful and compassionate.
She avoids stigmatizing labels and encourages people to tap their own strengths. Tonya aims to make therapy a collaborative effort where small changes lead to noticeable differences. If someone is ready to change, she helps them plan the next steps and supports them through the process.
Approaches and online options that fit your life
Tonya commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, building trust, and helping people find their own answers, which can be useful for relationship and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to reduce anxiety and stress.Choosing the best approach is part of the process and is done together. Tonya works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences. She may combine elements from different approaches to create a plan that feels right for each person.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for deeper conversations when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send quick updates or check in between sessions. These formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels, while still allowing a licensed professional to guide progress and track changes over time.
