Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Tonya Boyd draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be especially practical in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and experimenting with new ways of responding, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression symptoms, and self-esteem challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts or feelings while reconnecting with personal values, supporting motivation and meaningful change without getting stuck in constant self-criticism. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how past and present relationships shape emotional needs and coping, which can be helpful when working through abandonment concerns, attachment issues, and relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tonya works collaboratively, listening closely to what clients want from therapy and adjusting the focus and tools based on goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful over time.
Online therapy adds flexibility and access, making it easier to get support in a way that fits real life. Clients can connect with Tonya through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing for a mix of face-to-face conversation and between-session communication when needed.
