About Toni

Toni Kooy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, grief, self-esteem struggles, bipolar and mood disorders, panic, and related challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on twenty years of clinical experience in substance abuse and mental health settings to help clients identify the roots of their distress and build practical strategies for greater emotional balance and resilience.

Her approach blends client-centered openness with structured methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems to match each person’s needs. Toni emphasizes nonjudgmental listening, collaborative goal-setting, and both short-term and longer-term strategies so people can address painful situations, process loss, and work toward improved decision making and relationship health.

She trained at the University of Colorado, holds a master’s degree in counseling and a bachelor’s degree in psychology, and has provided services across rural and urban community mental health settings.

Toni brings a varied life background and a practical, flexible perspective to therapy, inviting clients to use their strengths while learning tools to manage symptoms and pursue a more fulfilling life.

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps people explore different parts of themselves, understand internal conflicts, and build compassionate inner relationships; it can be useful for issues rooted in trauma, shame, or persistent self-criticism. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, offering a supportive space where the client’s own goals and strengths guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, panic, and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works together with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can include combining elements from different approaches over time so the work stays responsive to what is most helpful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allow flexible scheduling and access from different locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or other commitments and let licensed professionals adapt interventions to suit session length and communication style.
