Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Tonya uses several evidence-based approaches that translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and improve mood; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress, which can help with mood instability, impulsivity, and relationship challenges. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying strengths and small, achievable steps toward clients' goals, making it useful for clients who want concrete progress in specific areas.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Tonya collaborates with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapts techniques from these approaches to create a tailored plan. This collaborative process helps ensure the methods used align with what the client hopes to accomplish.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to fit care into busy lives. These formats let licensed professionals and therapists offer consistent support while accommodating different communication preferences and practical needs.
