About Tosha

Tosha Marks Vickers is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on parenting and family concerns and also addresses adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, cancer, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, co-morbidity, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and related challenges.

She has worked in school-based and clinical settings. That mix gives practical experience with everyday struggles parents and caregivers face. Sessions are straightforward and action-oriented. She listens, gives direct feedback, and helps people build coping skills they can use between meetings.

Tosha uses mindfulness as one of the tools in sessions. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with mood, anxiety, and behavior concerns. The aim is to identify what is getting in the way, try small changes, and track what works.

People often seek her help for parenting guidance, navigating separation or divorce, managing chronic health conditions, or learning to say no when they tend to put others first. She also supports those coping with adoption, caregiving strain, or eating and body image issues.

Her style includes honest feedback, clear steps to try, and room for humor when it helps. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin the work together.

How sessions work

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions

She commonly uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice difficult thoughts and physical tension without becoming overwhelmed. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, mood regulation, and staying present during parenting or caregiving tasks.

She also uses practical, evidence-based strategies aimed at changing unhelpful patterns. These strategies break larger problems into small steps, teach new communication habits, and provide tools for managing stress and chronic health challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals and preferences. Together they try options, evaluate what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. A short questionnaire is used to match people to a therapist and then a first session is scheduled to get started.
