My name is Tonya Klemmer, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Georgia. I earned my Master of Social Work degree, from Marywood University in 2003. I've worked in many different settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as depression/anxiety, stress, family problems, trauma/abuse, adolescent sexual behavior problems, relationships/parenting and more. Over the past 16 years as a clinician, my experience has taught me that the most important aspect of counseling by far is the relationship and comfort you feel with the person you choose to share your struggles with. I believe we can all grow through challenging experiences by increasing our self-awareness and recognizing our potential. It would be my privilege to work with you and help you see your true worth. We all want to be able to share our personal truths and be accepted and understood. I believe it's very important to be open-minded and non-judgmental when someone shares their personal story or experiences with me. You are welcome to message me anytime through Better Help. The frequency with which you can have access to a counselor to work through day to day emotions and problem solving is extremely beneficial for most and a nice change from traditional outpatient counseling. I usually check messages twice each day, six days per week. I offer messaging, video and phone sessions with availability after 5pm Monday- Friday and anytime on Saturdays. Please note that what you see in my calendar may not reflect my only availability so you always want to check that out with me through messaging first. I look forward to working with you! Specialties •Stress, Anxiety •Anger •Adolescents •Depression I also have experience in Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Parenting issues, Anger management, Self-esteem, adolescent sexually acting out behaviors, high functioning autism, and Bipolar disorder Years of Experience: 23 in the field of social work and 16 as a clinical therapist

12 years offering treatment

I am Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years experience. I graduated with a master's degree in Community Counseling from Oklahoma State University, a CACREP accredited university. I have held counseling positions working with young adults, children and families, adults with mental health diagnoses and life concerns, and women specific issues, including addiction and relationship issues. These experiences and clients allowed me to work in various settings such as at homes, outpatient, and residential treatment. I believe that your therapy is led by you and your needs- you know yourself best and I am simply here to assist you. In working with my clients I use modalities that focus on your power over your own thoughts and feelings. I also highlight the messages that have carried us through our lives that work for you or are no longer working for you. Through exploring different areas of your life you identify your strengths to build on and coping skills you already have that work, in addition to creating new skills. I strive to be compassionate, open, and direct with you. It is important to me that you feel comfortable with me and are also getting what you are looking for as we work together. Successful experiences with counseling can be achieved in many different forms and I work through, mainly, video and live chat. Counseling should fit your needs. I look forward to working with you to provide support and guidance.
