About Toni
Toni Justice is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW-C) licensed in Maryland with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Toni also focuses on family of origin issues and related topics such as communication problems, abandonment, and guilt and shame.
Her approach centers on clear conversation and practical steps. Sessions often involve listening to what matters most, reflecting on recurring patterns, and trying small changes to see what helps. She uses methods drawn from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Toni blends mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to support clearer decision making and to increase present-moment awareness. When deeper patterns from childhood appear, she draws on psychodynamic ideas to map how early family roles keep showing up now. This helps people understand why they repeat certain behaviors and how to try alternatives.
In a typical session she will ask about recent struggles, identify goals, and suggest short exercises or new ways of responding to old situations. Conversations are straightforward and paced to the person's comfort. The focus is on spotting patterns tied to family of origin and testing practical changes that can reduce distress and improve relationships.
She invites people to weigh options and plan follow-up steps between sessions. For those dealing with addiction, post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood shifts, or life transitions like divorce, she uses a mix of solution-focused techniques and longer-term exploration depending on the need.
Approaches used in remote sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting to help people clarify their own goals and values. It supports people who want a collaborative, respectful space to sort through feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through concrete exercises and practice. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems and can offer short-term tools to reduce symptoms.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It can help people notice habitual reactions rooted in family patterns and choose different responses.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review problems, goals, and preferences together and recommend a mix of methods that fits current needs. That plan can change over time as progress and obstacles become clearer.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins between appointments and make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy week while still working on family of origin patterns and daily stressors.
