About Tolana

Tolana Murphy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. She practices from Arizona and brings a calm, practical approach to sessions. Tolana focuses on clear steps people can use right away.

She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, and related concerns. Her background includes work in intensive outpatient settings and inpatient detox programs. She has supported people through serious mental health episodes and first psychotic breaks, and has provided community mental health and medication assisted treatment.

Background and approach

That experience shaped a steady, problem-focused style. Tolana uses a mix of approaches because no single method fits everyone. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and client-centered work.

Sessions are aimed at practical changes and clearer coping skills. In the room she listens first, then helps people set small, achievable goals. She offers both one-on-one and group work when that matches the need.

Tolana pays attention to life stage issues such as parenting, aging, postpartum challenges, and career transitions. Her practice addresses issues like stress, sleeping and eating struggles, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar disorder, hoarding, and compassion fatigue. Tolana helps clients find manageable next steps and regain a sense of control.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotional awareness and changing interaction patterns that affect relationships and intimacy.

Tolana will work with each person to find approaches that fit their needs and goals. Choosing a therapeutic method is a collaborative step. She often combines techniques and adjusts the approach based on what is helping and what the client prefers.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is useful for detailed conversations and interactive work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a session fits into a short break. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, ongoing coping skills, or brief reflections between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
