More about Tonja

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCMHC

Hello,

My name is Tonja Price and I enjoy spending time with my family, working outside, and walking my dogs. I am a Licensed Clinical Counselor in the state of North Carolina, with 20 years of clinical experience, since I graduated from Eastern Illinois University.

I have experience in a variety of settings, such as private practice, public mental health, community-based mental health, hospital therapy, inpatient therapy, crisis center, court systems, and correctional settings. I have experience with clients who have a wide range of concerns, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, relationship issues, parenting problems, OCD, and ADHD. I am also trained in EMDR therapy, as it is my passion to help those who have suffered from trauma, to reclaim their strength and power that was taken from them.

I would describe my style as eclectic, supportive, goal-oriented, and client-focused. I feel that it is very important to communicate openly and work together to help come to a solution. My goal is to meet where you are now and help you get to where you want to be.

Seeking help is the first step in creating a better life and becoming the happiest version of yourself, let me help you on this wonderful journey.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Tonja has been great. She is down to earth and easy to talk to. Sometimes therapy can be intimidating because you don't know what to share or where to begin. Tonja is a navigator and helps get the conversation going. She doesn't JUST listen...she comprehends and I feel understood when I tell her things. She gives me useful feedback and gets me thinking from new perspectives. She provides me with tools and resources to help me on the path to be my best self. Although my last therapist on this platform was nice, I was not getting what I was looking for. I was ready to give up but thought I'd give it another shot. I'm so glad I did because my life has already been impacted in a positive way because of Tonja.

Tonja is super caring and helpful and has done more for me in the past year than my doctor has my whole life. She takes the time to really listen and suggests options for what she think would be best. We have tried a couple of different styles of therapy to find options that work best and she has helped me make great discoveries about what causes my OCD. She has even suggested medications to try with my doctor and has helped a lot. She also goes out of her way to message me between sessions to check in or when she hasn’t heard from me for awhile. She is truly amazing and is the best counsellor/therapist I have had.

Tonja and I hit it off right away. I think she might be the easiest person/therapist I have ever worked with. She is up to date on the techniques being used and I am looking forward to diving into them with her. I certainly trust her 1000% and have been able to disclose any and all thoughts with her. She does not judge you. I feel very fortunate that Tonja and I were matched. Someone really reviewed what I said in my in depth questionnaire and matched us perfectly. She is helping me make progress and I can always text her...she replies rather quickly. This is a great service and until we can teleport (as in Beam me up Scotty), the phone, video and or texting really work. Thank you!!!!

Tonja is very thorough when it comes to understanding your concerns and finds multiple ways to help you in case one way doesn’t work. She listens and checks in even when you don’t have any scheduled appointments and is very understanding. The only issue is I wish she lived closer so I could give her a hug in person. She’s the best.

Reviewed April 2021

Tonja is wonderful. I’ve presented her with a variety of issues to work on and she has addressed all areas sensitively, yet directly. I noticed that most reviews are written after a couple of weeks so I purposefully held off for about 4 months and I can say that Tonja has been consistently great at what she does throughout that time. Some sessions have been very structured, in others she has just let me vent, and she always check up on how I am doing in between sessions. Issues that we have worked on together have included anxiety, stress and relationship issues. I also presented Tonja with an unusual task of helping me to reduce crying (I seem to have conditioned myself to cry in inappropriate settings if I ever felt uncomfortable). She wasn’t phased by this, hasn’t judged and has successfully helped me to massively improve this! Thank you Tonja :)
