About Tonya

Tonya Boyd is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges related to LGBT identity. She works with people who are coping with life changes and who want clearer direction and steady support.

Her style is collaborative and direct, with attention to practical steps someone can use between sessions. Tonya draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand their emotional responses and connect those feelings to patterns in relationships and behavior.

Background and approach

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice difficult thoughts and commit to values-based action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered techniques appear in sessions when concrete skills or perspective shifts are useful. Sessions aim to identify what matters most to the client, build small, actionable changes, and practice new ways of responding to stress and low mood.

Conversations often include moments of exploring past attachment experiences and how they show up now. Tonya emphasizes simple tools that can be tried between visits so progress continues outside of session time. She has five years of clinical experience and holds licensure in Utah as an LCMHC and in Idaho as an LCPC.

Tonya offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and communication preferences. People who choose her tend to want a practical, emotionally aware approach. She encourages a steady pace and clear goals while respecting each person’s timing and comfort with change.

Online support

Emotion-focused and action-oriented care online

Tonya uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name their feelings, see how emotions shape relationship patterns, and try new emotional responses. She pairs that with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which teaches how to accept difficult thoughts and commit to actions that match personal values. These approaches are useful for anxiety, low mood, identity questions, and problems tied to attachment.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients are invited to set priorities and try small steps between sessions so progress stays connected to daily life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video lets the therapist and client work in a face-to-face style when schedules allow. Phone sessions can be lower-bandwidth and easier on busy days. Live chat and texting are useful for short check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while keeping the focus on clear goals and practical change.
