Mrs. Tonya is a very attentive person who is very attentive. She listens with patience and offers tools and resources to help people cope with, and address, any situation. She is quick to identify underlying conflict that arises during her sessions and responsive to digging into the root problem. She is skilled in her expertise and I am very excited and blessed that I was paired with her.

- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in Texas, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on compassionate, faith-informed counseling that addresses depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction challenges. I'm deeply committed to helping clients develop self-love, improve communication skills, and work through feelings of guilt and shame. My relationship with God is core to my existence, and my walk with Him and service to others to glorify God is the most important job I have. Whenever and wherever allowed, I integrate spirituality and prayer.
My therapeutic practice honors each person's unique journey, offering a supportive environment where healing and personal growth can flourish. Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I provide targeted strategies to help individuals process grief, overcome past hurts, and cultivate emotional resilience.
With a heart for understanding and a professional approach rooted in evidence-based practices, I aim to walk alongside my clients as they rediscover their inner strength and move toward wholeness. My goal is to create a safe, respectful space where transformation and healing can authentically unfold.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I love Tonya She listens and helps me through some difficult times
Although my time with Tonya was short, I was moving out of the area, she gave me some excellent tools to address my issues and I am confident that with practice they will be effective.
Nice, professional, and listens
Love the commitment and the fact that religion is incorporated into my therapy lord knows I need that
She has done more for me in the last month than any other therapist I have ever had.
Tonya Boyett-Etheridge has been a great help and support. She is proactive and doesn't just listen and then say time is up. Tonya manages the time well and gives me resources and feedback, she helps me set goals and gives homework that only applies to what I am dealing with at the time or working on. She has been a big help.
She has gotten me on the right path.
Tonya is very thoughtful and compassionate. She not only listens but also understands and helps you navigate your emotions and experiences. She is wonderful to work with!
After trying a few therapists, after just two sessions I am confident I have been connected with a great therapist. Tonya is considerate and coming from a faith based perspective, it brings me comfort knowing I am receiving both professional and spiritual guidance. I am hopeful about the growth and good things to come while working with her!
Ms. Tonya is an amazing therapist. Her background in social work was especially helpful, as many of my struggles were rooted in the environment I was raised in. Her environmental-based approach made our work together very effective.
