About Toni

Toni McClure is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience who focuses on helping people build balanced, resilient lives.

Background and approach

She combines a strengths-based perspective with practical skills to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, addiction, and workplace stress. Toni draws on a family therapy background and life coaching mindset to help clients clarify goals and develop a personalized roadmap for change.

Her approach blends evidence-informed techniques including Internal Family Systems, cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. She has provided clinical care for military service members, veterans, survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, and others navigating significant life transitions.

Toni emphasizes collaboration, listening carefully to each person's story and identifying internal strengths that support coping and growth. In sessions she supports clients in learning practical tools, practicing new responses, and setting achievable steps toward their goals.

Her style is goal-oriented yet compassionate, aimed at helping people rise above obstacles and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Integrating therapeutic approaches into online care

Internal Family Systems helps people notice and relate to the different internal parts of their experience, encouraging curiosity and self-leadership to work through trauma, shame, and persistent emotional patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and teaching practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and solve concrete problems. Mindfulness practices are used alongside these methods to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, supporting calmer responses to stress.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Toni will collaborate with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress is observed and priorities shift. This collaborative stance helps tailor work to what feels most useful for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access care from different locations and schedules. These formats support ongoing skill practice between sessions and allow clients to choose communication styles that match their comfort and daily routines, while maintaining consistent contact with licensed professionals and therapists.
