Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Tonya draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being dominated by them, then clarify values and take action toward meaningful goals - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and can help with intimacy issues, trust, and relationship repair.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Tonya will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies as progress unfolds so clients and therapists can refine the plan together.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from licensed professionals without travel, while still focusing on meaningful progress and practical coping skills.
