About Toni
Toni Kooy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and parenting struggles. She brings 20 years of experience in substance abuse and mental health settings. Toni speaks plainly and offers steady, non-judgmental support for people coping with grief, addiction, mood shifts, panic, and relationship or intimacy concerns.
Her approach is practical and goal-focused. She listens first, then helps people identify what’s causing distress and which strengths to use.
Background and approach
Short-term goals and longer-term steps are used when helpful to track progress and keep work focused. Toni uses a mix of methods that fit each person’s needs. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to build emotion regulation and decision-making skills.
She has training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which she has used with people who have trauma symptoms. Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counseling from the University of Colorado. She has worked across rural and urban community mental health centers and has treated a wide range of concerns since 2004.
People who choose Toni can expect straightforward conversation, practical tools, and a flexible approach tailored to their goals. She respects each person’s life experience and partners with them to find strategies that fit day-to-day life.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist creates a space where people can talk through what matters and identify their own goals and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral changes to improve mood and reduce anxiety. DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better decision-making in tense moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. That decision is made together and can change as progress is tracked.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when that feels important. Phone sessions can work when internet bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, homework support, or when a written conversation fits a busy schedule. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, family, and daily life.
