Tonya Boyett-Etheridge, LCSW

Tonya Boyett-Etheridge is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas who offers a compassionate, faith-informed approach to counseling. With 10 years of professional experience, she has worked across a range of settings - including medical environments such as a burn, trauma, and surgical intensive care unit; mental health services as a clinician and crisis supervisor; hospice care supporting patients at the end of life; and as a contractor supporting service members and their families on an Air Force base. These roles have informed her ability to help people navigate depression, anxiety, trauma recovery, addiction, and the emotional fallout of medical and life crises.

She specializes in creating a supportive space for exploring difficult emotions like guilt, shame, and grief while helping clients strengthen communication skills and deepen self-understanding. Tonya integrates evidence-based methods with a Christian perspective when desired - combining Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Existential Therapy to tailor treatment to each person. The LCSW credential indicates specialized training to provide clinical social work and therapeutic support.

Tonya values walking alongside individuals with empathy, respect, and practical guidance, helping them build resilience and identify pathways toward emotional wellness. She welcomes clients who wish to incorporate faith into their work as well as those who do not share the same beliefs, and she provides individualized care for concerns such as stress, relationship challenges, post-traumatic stress, grief, and struggles with self-worth.
