How her methods translate to online therapy
Tonya often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and practical problem solving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills to reduce overwhelm and impulsive reactions.She approaches treatment as a collaborative process. Together with the client she reviews goals, tries techniques, and adjusts the plan when needed. Picking the right approach is part of the work and she will help determine what fits your needs and preferences over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for teaching skills and modeling techniques. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging provide quick, flexible ways to send updates, practice new skills between sessions, or check in on progress.
