You're here! Right here, right now! You may not be where you want to be yet, but you have already taken a step towards facing challenges with a strength you never knew you had. Besides, it doesn't hurt to get a little assistance on the way. I'm here to help you. Let me tell you something. Nothing is as remarkable as seeing positive change in my client! Helping you make even the smallest steps towards your goal every day brings me joy and I make sure to let you know when I've noticed your progress. Even when they seem too small to notice, I'll notice! You’ll be surprised how much a little positivity can help.

I am a licensed professional counselor and a certified rehabilitation counselor with additional experience in helping individuals get back to work to attain the highest success possible after experiencing any life changing issues. I have helped people with almost everything you can think of. I have helped those with mild and severe mental health concerns.

When I counsel, my style is energetic, compassionate, and supportive. I praise your progressions, and I can show you how to be proud of your efforts and steps in the right direction. I am client-centered and I want to listen to you and be as helpful as is humanly possible. I love to empower my clients. I can't wait to meet you!

Life can feel incredibly heavy when anxiety, grief, trauma, depression, or major life changes begin affecting your ability to move forward. You may feel overwhelmed by emotions, exhausted from carrying burdens on your own, or unsure where to turn next. Sometimes the hardest part is feeling like no one truly understands what you've been through. I work with adults and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, panic disorders, grief and loss, PTSD, trauma, stress, bipolar disorder, and anger management concerns. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling emotionally drained, discouraged, or disconnected from the peace and fulfillment they want for themselves. My goal is to provide a compassionate and supportive space where you can slow down, feel heard, make sense of your experiences, and begin moving toward healing with greater confidence and hope.

Life can be full of surprises. Sometimes those surprises are wonderful, other times they can cause stress, anxiety and even depression. My goal is to walk with you through those transitions and help you develop the skills and tools to manage your feelings; to feel like you are in control of your emotions, rather than the other way around around. I am a licensed clinical social worker. I received my MSW from the University of Georgia. I specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief and trauma.

Tonia Spaulding

Tonia Spaulding

Therapist

Virtual • Warner Robins, GA


My name is Tonia Spaulding, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I believe that meaningful change is possible when clients feel heard, supported, and empowered. My approach to counseling is collaborative and compassionate—I work alongside you, not as an authority over you.

I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. This means I help clients build practical skills to manage emotions, cope with stress, improve relationships, and move toward their goals while also focusing on strengths and solutions rather than problems alone. I value progress at your pace and tailor therapy to fit your unique needs and life experiences.

I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be open, honest, and yourself. Whether you are seeking support during a difficult season or looking to develop healthier coping strategies, my goal is to help you feel empowered, understood, and confident in your ability to create positive change.
