Online support options
How her approaches work in online therapy
Tonya commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a respectful relationship so a person can explore goals and choices at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing small changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Tonya will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. She tailors the plan to each person's needs rather than sticking to a single method.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls let people see facial cues and hold fuller conversations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or when someone needs flexibility during the day. These options make it easier to schedule consistent meetings and carry therapy forward between sessions.
