About Tonya
Tonya has ten years of experience across inpatient and outpatient settings. She has helped people facing addiction, eating disorders, domestic abuse, anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. Her work also addresses family problems, guilt and shame, post-traumatic stress, and building self-love.
Her approach is direct and strengths-based. That means she looks for what a person already does well and builds from there. She uses person-centered techniques to keep sessions focused on each individual’s goals.
Tonya uses several evidence-based methods in her work, including dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and approaches that support post-traumatic growth. These methods are used to teach coping skills, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and rebuild a sense of safety after trauma.
Sessions are offered in English and are provided to people located in Florida. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. The subscription can be canceled at any time and cost varies with location and therapist availability.

Approaches for coping and online care
Tonya uses practical, evidence-based techniques that teach skills people can use between sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. That approach helps with everyday stress, mood shifts, and habits that get in the way of daily life.Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes skill building around emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive behaviors, and improving relationships. Tonya also uses post-traumatic growth approaches that help people rebuild after trauma by identifying strengths and new meaning in life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as needed. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques fit each person's situation best.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when visual cues help, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging can fit into busy days. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, and other obligations while still getting consistent help.
