About Tolana

Tolana Murphy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LCPC) with a decade of clinical experience. She trained in psychology and counseling and has worked across inpatient and community settings, supporting people through depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, and severe mental health crises.

Background and approach

Her background includes work in intensive outpatient programs, inpatient detox, medication-assisted treatment, and care for those experiencing first psychotic breaks. Her approach is flexible and person-focused, drawing on multiple evidence-informed methods to meet clients where they are.

She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), EMDR, and client-centered techniques to build individualized plans. Tolana emphasizes compassionate listening and practical skills to address concerns such as ADHD, stress, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, sleep and eating difficulties, and career or life-purpose questions.

Based in Arizona, Tolana works with adults facing a wide range of life changes and clinical concerns, offering care shaped by years of hands-on practice in diverse clinical environments. She uses a collaborative stance to help clients identify goals and develop strategies that fit their values and daily realities.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and fit



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and develop psychological flexibility by using mindfulness and committed action to move toward what matters, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for depression, anxiety, and coping with daily challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships, which can help with intimacy-related difficulties and improving connection.

Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to explore which methods align with their goals, preferences, and the specific problems they want to address, adjusting techniques over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy with Tolana is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across life transitions, and access support from home or other locations without needing to travel.
