About Tina
Tina Echterling is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. She is an LPC and LMHC practicing in Indiana with nine years of professional experience. Tina’s style is direct but warm, and she aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.
She creates an open space where clients can talk about difficult feelings without judgment. Sessions use clear, practical conversation and real-life coping tools.
How Tina works
Tina follows approaches like client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to tailor work to each person’s needs. Many clients come for help with relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, or life transitions. She also supports people facing issues such as codependency, commitment problems, communication challenges, and family of origin concerns.
Addiction, domestic violence aftermath, and compassion fatigue are included among her focus areas. Tina blends short-term goal work with deeper narrative and motivational methods when helpful. That means she can help identify patterns, build coping skills, and set step-by-step goals.
Her sessions balance practical skill-building with room to reflect on meaning and values. When starting, she usually works collaboratively to set priorities and plan next steps. People can expect straightforward feedback, focused exercises, and options for ongoing check-ins.
The overall aim is steady, manageable progress toward clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping.

How Tina’s Approaches Work Online
Tina commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and accepting a person’s experience so they can find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to talk. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors together and builds concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy when people need skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. That approach teaches practical tools for handling intense feelings and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Together these methods give a mix of validation, skill-building, and step-by-step change.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. Clients can expect shared decision-making about goals and methods during early sessions.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and demonstrations of skills, phone calls can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins or moments when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain regular contact for steady progress.
