About Tina
Tina Collins is a licensed clinical social worker with 21 years of experience in New Jersey. She helps people who are facing relationship strain, family conflict, anger, anxiety, depression, and the stress of life changes. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, self-esteem struggles, career questions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Tina takes a strengths-based view. She treats each person as the expert on their own story and works with them to find practical ways forward.
How Tina works
Sessions focus on clear goals, skills you can try between meetings, and talking through what feels most urgent in your life. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She asks questions, listens closely, and helps people notice patterns that get in the way.
She also offers coaching-style support for career and life transitions when that fits the client's goals. Tina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and tailors methods to each person's needs. She emphasizes small, doable changes rather than overwhelming plans.
This helps people build confidence and coping skills over time. Starting therapy with Tina begins with a simple sign-up and a short matching questionnaire. From there clients schedule sessions that work with their calendar and communication preferences.
She works in English and practices in New Jersey as an LCSW.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Tina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behaviors, and then teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Another approach centers on managing strong emotions like anger and grief by building coping strategies and step-by-step plans for difficult moments.Choosing the right approach happens together. Tina will listen to your goals and preferences, explain options in plain language, and adjust methods as you go. The focus is on what helps you make progress, not on fitting you to a single method.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video calls work well for full conversations and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simple check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let clients send shorter updates, get coaching-style feedback between sessions, and keep momentum when time is tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other busy lives.
