04Online support
Client-centered and trauma-focused care online
Tonya uses client-centered therapy to guide online sessions. That approach starts with listening and treating the person as the expert in their life. It helps when someone needs to clarify goals, increase self-understanding, and build self-compassion.She also uses trauma-focused therapy when past events continue to affect daily functioning. Trauma-focused work looks at how a traumatic experience shows up now and teaches skills to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping. This can help with post-traumatic stress, sexual assault or domestic violence recovery, and related symptoms.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on progress and feedback.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation, phone can be a shorter check-in or help when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can suit quick updates or people who prefer writing. These options give flexibility and allow people to keep therapy consistent when life is unpredictable.
