Background and approach
She uses methods that focus on the person’s goals and strengths. That can mean looking at thought patterns, setting small achievable steps, or reworking the stories people tell about themselves. The work is collaborative and paced to the individual’s needs.
Tonya believes recovery is possible and that people are more than a diagnosis. Therapy includes short-term problem solving and longer-term work when needed. She helps clients find ways to feel more calm, confident, and in control.
To begin, she asks people to share what matters most to them and what they hope to change. From there she helps build a plan that fits daily life and the challenges someone faces. Tonya aims to be a steady partner through change and healing.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist reflects what matters to the client and helps them set goals that feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. These skills can target anxiety, anger and depression with concrete exercises and real-life practice.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try methods that match those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes fitting therapy into a busy life easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, chat offers quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing contact between sessions. These formats give flexibility for different schedules and styles while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady support.
