About Toya
Toya Turner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with six years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and cope with major life changes. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue.
Toya works in a practical, person-centered way. She treats clients as the experts on their lives and focuses on strengths that can be used to meet current challenges. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with clear steps to try between meetings.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. That means she listens closely, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and supports small, doable changes that can make daily life easier.
Toya also addresses concerns that touch family life and caregiving. She has experience with adoption and foster care issues, aging and geriatric concerns, cancer and hospice related stress, caregiver strain, and postpartum depression.
People who are feeling isolated, stuck, or uncertain about next steps often find her practical style helpful. She aims to keep sessions straightforward and relevant to everyday life. For non-English speakers, sessions are offered in English only.
BHow sessions work
How client-centered and CBT ideas translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online sessions let the therapist and client talk through concerns, clarify goals, and decide what feels most doable in day-to-day life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions CBT techniques can include identifying unhelpful thoughts, setting small behavioral experiments, and reviewing homework between meetings to track progress.
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their reasons for change and build internal motivation. Used online, it supports decision-making about next steps and keeps goals realistic and achievable.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Toya will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust approaches as progress is made.

Online work can make it simpler to maintain regular appointments while handling family, health, or job commitments.
