How Tinna works
The first step is naming what feels stuck and deciding on small, realistic changes. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on practical skills and real problems.
Conversations include short-term coping tools and strategies that can be tried between visits. Tinna draws on several therapy approaches to meet different needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful patterns.
She also uses Client-Centered methods to keep conversations focused on the client's priorities. She brings seven years of professional experience and holds an LSCSW - Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker. Tinna is licensed in Kansas and conducts work in English.
People who want to try online formats can connect by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. If someone is unsure where to begin, she helps sort priorities and set small goals. The emphasis is on practical change and on building confidence to handle daily challenges.

Online support options
How therapy methods translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems with mood or motivation. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's own goals and experiences, offering nonjudgmental support while clients decide what to try next.Tinna treats deciding on an approach as a team effort. She will listen to what matters most, try a few techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process helps identify the right mix of skills and conversation style for each person.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or during a short break. Live chat and messaging make it simple to check in between sessions or use brief coaching prompts during the week. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit real life while using the therapist's ACT, CBT, and client-centered tools.
