About Tina
Tina Bacigalupo is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 18 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, career concerns, and coping with life changes. Tina offers a calm, direct style that aims to help people get unstuck and move toward the life they want.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what keeps someone stuck and then works with them to try manageable steps forward.
How Tina works
Sessions often include looking at thoughts and behaviors, telling the story of what brought someone here, and practicing tools to reduce worry and build confidence. She draws on client-centered work to keep the client's priorities central.
Tina also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns that make stress and anxiety worse, and mindfulness practices to help people notice and respond rather than react. Motivational interviewing helps when making change feels overwhelming or uncertain. Narrative ideas are used to reframe painful experiences and find new meaning.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. She helps set small goals, checks progress, and adjusts plans when something isn’t working. Conversations are aimed at real-life problems like communication breakdowns, feelings of emptiness or shame, issues after divorce, and difficulties with trust or abandonment.
People who prefer clear steps, honest feedback, and a supportive listening space may find her approach helpful. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online in formats that fit different schedules and needs.

Online support options
Online approaches that fit your life and goals
Tina commonly integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the person’s goals so sessions stay relevant to what matters most. Cognitive behavioral work looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going and introduces small experiments to change them.She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting swept up by them. These techniques can help with worry, overwhelming emotions, and building steady routines. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with the person to try options, get feedback, and adjust based on what fits their goals and comfort level.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are good for short check-ins, daily support, or fitting therapy into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, try different formats, and fit sessions around work or family life.
