How Tina works
She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals. Mindfulness practices are added when helpful to reduce overwhelm and improve moment-to-moment coping. Tina also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship concerns to help partners improve communication and rebuild connection.
She supports people dealing with grief, intimacy issues, body image, career worries, caregiver stress, and the ripple effects of major life changes. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family dynamics, and recovery from domestic violence.
Sessions can address more specific concerns such as bipolar mood challenges, eating and sleeping difficulties, control issues, emptiness, and coping after disasters. She also offers coaching-style work and support for compassion fatigue. The aim is to collaborate on manageable steps that fit each person’s life.
Tina welcomes straightforward conversations about goals and what methods might help. She adapts the plan as therapy progresses, keeping the work practical and focused on real-life changes.

How her approaches work online
Tina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress by teaching concrete skills to manage symptoms.She also uses the Gottman Method for relationship work to improve communication, reduce conflict, and rebuild connection through structured exercises and practical communication tools.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the person’s needs. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps and what doesn’t, so the process stays collaborative.
Online therapy offers different ways to connect. Video calls let people see each other and work interactively. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections, or support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules change.
