About Tonya
Tonya Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 10 years of social work experience. She meets people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem, addiction, relationship strain, family problems, depression, and life changes.
She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and has supported individuals across a range of situations. Her work is direct and person-centered, with an emphasis on building on a person’s existing strengths. She focuses on practical coping skills and clearer ways to handle intense emotions like anger or overwhelming anxiety.
Tonya uses several evidence-based techniques, including dialectical behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, plus an approach that addresses growth after trauma. In sessions she talks through concrete strategies - for example, changing unhelpful thoughts or practicing emotion regulation skills - and then helps people try those skills between meetings.
People often come to her when addictive behaviors, eating struggles, or past abuse are making daily life harder. She also helps with guilt, shame, self-love, and issues that commonly affect women. Her language of choice for sessions is English, and she practices in Florida.
To begin, the usual process is to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and costs vary by location.
How her approaches translate to online work
Tonya uses evidence-based techniques that are practical to use in remote sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger that follows repetitive thinking. Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal strategies; it can help when anger feels hard to control or when emotions escalate quickly. She also uses a post-traumatic growth approach to help people process trauma and focus on rebuilding strengths after difficult events.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tonya will discuss options with each person and together they will decide which techniques fit the client’s goals and preferences. That collaboration guides whether sessions emphasize skills practice, thought work, or trauma integration.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats here. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals working online can use video for longer sessions and phone for brief follow-ups, but please confirm what formats are offered for this clinician when you schedule.
