About Tonya

Tonya Randolph is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people facing stress, anxiety, family concerns, grief, anger, and life changes. Her style aims to make therapy feel understandable and doable for busy adults who want clearer next steps.

Tonya uses straightforward talk therapy to help people build better communication and cope with social anxiety and relationship strain. She also works with issues around self-esteem, intimacy, career stress, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She brings three years of professional experience to her work as an LPC. Her sessions emphasize active listening and collaborative goal-setting. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness tools to teach practical skills that can be used between sessions.

Solution-focused techniques help identify small changes that make a difference fast. Tonya is attentive to cultural background and individual differences. She supports clients dealing with trauma and abuse using trauma-focused methods alongside other approaches.

The aim is to help people learn coping strategies and regain a sense of control after hard events. Therapy with Tonya typically involves clear goals, simple skill building, and ongoing check-ins about progress. She offers sessions in English and uses a mix of short-term problem solving and longer-term skill development to meet each person’s needs.

Online approaches that fit your life

Tonya incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to change feelings and actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches paying attention to the present moment and simple breathing or body-awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening, empathy, and collaborating with each person to set meaningful goals. That approach helps when someone wants a steady, respectful space to talk through family concerns or life transitions. Tonya will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs and preferences, and she adjusts her approach as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep working on skills between meetings. The variety of options helps people continue care even when schedules or circumstances change.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
