About Tonya
Tonya Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 10 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem, addictions, relationship strain, family problems, depression, and coping with life changes.
Tonya takes a direct, person-centered, strengths-based approach. She speaks plainly in sessions and focuses on practical steps that reduce intense feelings and improve daily functioning. She has experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, so she is used to short-term crisis work and longer-term change work.
Her work draws on evidence-based techniques such as dialectical behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, and she also uses ideas from post-traumatic growth when trauma has been part of a person's history. In practical terms that can mean learning skills for managing strong emotions, changing patterns that keep problems going, and identifying personal strengths to build on.
Tonya has supported people through addiction, eating disorders, domestic abuse recovery, grief and loss, and post-traumatic stress concerns. She often helps clients break down overwhelming problems into manageable steps and practice new responses between sessions.
She works in English and is based in Florida. Session costs vary by location and are delivered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Tonya uses evidence-based techniques online
Tonya draws on practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on skills and small changes. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that are useful when anger or intense feelings come up. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems like anxiety, anger, or depression going.She also integrates ideas from post-traumatic growth to help people build strengths and meaning after trauma. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Tonya collaborates with clients to choose approaches based on their needs, goals, and what feels workable in day-to-day life.
