About Tonya
Tonya uses a compassionate, strength-based style in sessions. She listens carefully, helps people name what matters, and builds practical steps forward. Sessions often include talking through difficult feelings, practicing new ways to respond, and planning small experiments to test change.
Her work includes support for people coping with abandonment, codependency, body image worries, and control issues. She also helps with midlife transitions, work stress, and finding life purpose. Tonya blends attention to immediate problems with attention to longer-term growth.
With eight years of clinical experience, she brings steady, patient guidance to the room. She holds an LPC, which is a Licensed Professional Counselor credential in South Carolina. That background informs how she structures sessions and partners with clients.

How Tonya Uses Client-Centered and CBT Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people discover their own solutions. This approach is useful for identity questions, relationship concerns, and building self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and uses practical exercises to shift those patterns. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.Finding the right approach is a shared effort. Tonya will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest strategies that match those needs. Together they try methods for a period and adjust based on what feels most helpful and doable.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and fit sessions into busy days. It also lets people work with a licensed professional from their own region without extra travel time. For some, remote sessions allow shorter check-ins that fit a lunch break or phone-based conversations when video is not ideal. Ask about the available formats when you start the matching process so sessions match your routine and goals.
