About Tina
Tina Smith is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation struggles, and depression. Tina aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and supportive for someone taking that first step.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can say what they are feeling. Conversations are practical and straightforward. Tina listens first, then helps people sort through options and small steps that fit their life.
How Tina works
Her work often looks at family strains, parenting challenges, and how past relationships influence current emotions. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, attachment concerns, or blended family dynamics. Communication problems, caregiver stress, and feelings of guilt or emptiness are common topics in her sessions.
Tina uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize each person's goals and pace. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when emotion regulation and coping tools are needed. These approaches are described and tried together so clients can see what helps.
Sessions are delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or messaging to fit different schedules. Tina works in English and practices from Texas. Her approach is steady, practical, and focused on real-life changes rather than jargon.

How Tina’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, understanding each person’s goals, and moving at a comfortable pace. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, empathetic space to talk through stress, family concerns, or feelings of low self-worth.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for handling strong emotions and improving relationships. It includes techniques for managing distress, improving communication, and reducing impulsive reactions. DBT skills can be useful for people struggling with mood swings, intense emotions, or communication problems.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Tina will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust what she uses based on what feels helpful to the client. That collaborative process helps shape sessions to match needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting into everyday life.
