How her approaches shape online work
Toya combines client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice thought patterns and try new behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and validating your experience while you decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps you test small changes to see what helps.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help clarify goals and build motivation for change through supportive conversation. These methods can fit concerns like anxiety, depression, codependency, caregiver stress, and coping with life transitions. The therapist will work with each person to find the right mix of approaches based on goals, needs, and preferences.
