How Tina works
Tina uses client-centered methods to listen first and adapt to each person's pace. She often blends cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help clients manage thoughts, worry, and overwhelm. Tina also works with concerns such as parenting strain, family conflict, anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and attention-related challenges.
Additional focus areas include obsessions, compulsions, phobias, trauma and abuse, and relationship difficulties. She aims to make goals clear and break them into small, achievable steps. Her sessions tend to be practical and skill-focused, with space for personal storytelling when that helps make sense of a problem.
Tina encourages clients to try brief exercises during or between sessions to build confidence. Progress is tracked through concrete changes in daily routines and coping strategies. People who want a calm, steady therapist who listens closely may find Tina a good match.
She offers multiple online formats to fit busy schedules and prefers working in ways that fit each person’s life and goals.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Tina commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience without judgment, which helps when someone wants a respectful place to talk through feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical tools to reduce worry, manage mood, and interrupt unhelpful patterns.Mindfulness therapy is also part of her approach and involves short practices to help people notice their experience and reduce reactivity. These methods can help with stress, anxiety, compulsions, and coping with life transitions. Choosing which approach to use is a team process - Tina will discuss goals, try approaches together, and adjust based on what feels useful and doable for the person.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow brief, frequent check-ins or to work through exercises between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
