About Tonya

She draws on a decade of social work experience to help people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and has supported people facing addiction, eating concerns, grief, and relationship strain.
Background and approach
That range of settings gives her perspective on immediate crisis needs and longer-term recovery work. Tonya emphasizes strengths and helps people find small, doable steps toward change. Her approach is direct and centered on each person’s goals.
Sessions focus on building skills, reframing unhelpful thoughts, and managing strong emotions. She draws from evidence-based techniques when they fit a person’s needs. Tonya is based in Florida and brings practical experience from ten years in social work to each conversation.
She helps people sort through family problems, guilt and shame, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. The aim is clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping. People who prefer focused, skill-oriented work may find her style helpful.
Tonya works in English and helps clients identify concrete steps they can try between sessions. She frames therapy as collaborative work toward healthier patterns and greater self-compassion.
Evidence-based approaches delivered online
Tonya commonly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills. Cognitive behavioral approaches help people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and build small habits that reduce anxiety and low mood. Dialectical behavior style techniques teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions run high, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and self-harming impulses.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients choose which techniques fit their goals and daily life, and will adjust methods based on progress and feedback. This collaborative process makes it easier to try strategies that actually feel useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation for deeper processing. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is hard. Live chat and text messaging allow for shorter check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help therapy fit into school, work, and family schedules while keeping focus on practical change and skill building.
