About Toni
Toni McClure is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Missouri with 30 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, addictions, and anger. Toni combines practical skill-building with goal-focused conversations.
Her style centers on helping people notice and use their own strengths. She uses clear, straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are also part of her approach when they fit the client's needs.
Toni has experience providing services to active military, reservists, and veterans. She has also worked extensively with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and brings trauma recovery experience to those cases. These backgrounds inform how she structures safety, pacing, and skill development in sessions.
In practical terms, she helps people set short-term goals, build problem-solving skills, and practice strategies to reduce reactivity or worry. Sessions often include identifying patterns, testing small behavioral changes, and using mindfulness to lower stress in the moment.
Clients who come for anger concerns are guided to recognize triggers, learn alternative responses, and build a plan for preventing escalation. The work aims at steady, usable changes rather than quick fixes. Toni also integrates coaching tools when people want focused action steps toward life or career goals.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building goals together. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns, helps clarify priorities, and supports the client in choosing what to work on next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors link to emotions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and workplace stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and suggest which techniques to try first. Together you can adjust the plan based on what works, combining practical skill-building, mindfulness exercises, or solution-focused steps as needed.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support work on behavioral assignments between meetings. It also lets people use mindfulness practices and homework tools in their normal environments, which can help generalize new skills into daily life.
