Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and aimed at finding steps that fit each person’s life. Tonine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break problems into manageable pieces and practice new skills between meetings. Her experience includes working with addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy and relationship problems, and self-esteem or body image concerns.
She also helps people facing life changes, career questions, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. Other focus areas in her practice include adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and parenting challenges like fatherhood issues. Tonine aims to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.
She helps people set realistic goals and build routines that support those goals. Many clients work on coping strategies, communication skills, or reducing symptoms that interfere with daily life. Sessions are offered from Florida and use clear, practical steps tailored to each person’s needs.
Meetings are delivered in English and can be scheduled to match a person’s timeframe and preferences.
CBT-informed care delivered online
Tonine primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on noticing patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and then testing practical changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and many everyday problems because it emphasizes clear steps and practice between sessions.She pairs that work with a collaborative style that helps clients choose which techniques to try. The therapist will help you identify goals, try approaches that fit your life, and adjust the plan based on what is working. Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit meetings into a busy week. Video calls allow real-time interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be better when a lower bandwidth or hands-free format is needed. Chat and text can work for brief check-ins, step-by-step planning, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility in pace, timing, and how people prefer to communicate.
