About Tonja
Tonja Erickson is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - practicing in Montana with 25 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem concerns, career questions and coping with life changes. She also lists life purpose among her focus areas.
Tonja helps people dealing with midlife transitions and the strain that comes with caregiving. She supports those facing workplace stress, social anxiety, commitment questions, and the aftermath of divorce or separation. Her work includes addressing family of origin issues, feelings of emptiness, and struggles with guilt or shame.
In sessions she talks through communication and control issues and helps people manage isolation or jealousy. She takes a practical approach to building skills for day-to-day coping. Conversations include identifying patterns, testing small changes, and planning next steps that fit real life.
Her long experience means she is used to longer-term concerns as well as shorter, focused work around a specific change. People often explore values and purpose alongside more immediate problems like anxiety or grief. Tonja uses straightforward language and aims to make sessions understandable and applicable between meetings.

Evidence-based approaches and online work
Tonja uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and understanding patterns. One common approach is cognitive behavioral work, which looks at thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and manage stress through clear, structured exercises. Another is problem-focused work around life transitions, which helps people clarify priorities, weigh options, and plan next steps during career or relationship change.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That can mean trying a skill-based practice for a few weeks or shifting to more reflective conversations about values and life purpose as needed.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking.
