How Tonya’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when difficult feelings are present. It is useful for stress, low motivation, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. It often includes homework and skill practice between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice and shift responses that cause conflict or distance, which can aid relationship stress and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Through conversation, she and the client decide which methods to try and adjust them over time so the plan fits the person’s life and progress.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue work during transitions or when attending in-person meetings is difficult. Licensed professionals can tailor online sessions to focus on skills practice, values-based goal setting, emotion regulation strategies, or relationship patterns depending on what the client needs.
