Getting to know Tonia Locklear
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Fayetteville, NC native dedicated to helping clients build stronger, healthier lives. After years in crisis intervention, I transitioned into counseling to focus on the interpersonal and family dynamics that shape our well-being. I draw on evidence-based modalities—cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), solution-focused brief therapy, trauma-informed care, and family systems work—to guide clients toward insight, resilience, and lasting change.
I work best with individuals who are ready to engage actively in their growth. In each session, we’ll set clear, measurable goals and use techniques like cognitive restructuring, emotion-regulation skills, mindfulness practices, and narrative reframing to address unhelpful patterns. I partner with you to track progress, adjust strategies as needed, and build a toolbox of practical skills you can rely on long after our work together concludes.
Your time and investment matter to me. My aim is always to help you move forward efficiently so that, ultimately, you won’t need me anymore. I’m honored to support you on this journey of growth and healing.

More information on payments and coverage
After scheduling your appointment through Zocdoc, you will receive a follow-up email from Tava with instructions to complete the necessary registration in our patient portal, including insurance and payment details. Placing a credit card on file is required to process insurance billing and any applicable deductible-related charges. Please complete your registration within 24 hours to ensure a smooth check-in and avoid delays in accessing care. If registration is not completed in time, we may not be able to verify your insurance coverage, which could result in unexpected out-of-pocket costs for your visit. Per our office policies, a fee may be charged for missed appointments or late cancellations.
