Background and approach
Tina listens for what matters most and helps clients find small, manageable changes they can try between meetings. Her approach blends tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. That means clients learn to notice unhelpful thoughts, commit to values-based actions, and build emotion regulation skills.
She also uses EMDR techniques when trauma memories need a focused approach. Tina works with concerns ranging from addiction and relationship troubles to parenting stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, codependency, attachment issues, and the pain of separation or loss.
The work often mixes skill-building with space to process feelings. As a mother and nana, Tina understands the pressures of caregiving and life transitions. Her style is practical and encouraging.
She helps people set realistic goals and stay accountable while honoring their values and strengths.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful when life feels stuck or when someone wants to clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems like anxiety or depression going. It offers concrete strategies and homework to try between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that targets distressing memories to reduce their emotional impact when appropriate.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tina collaborates with each person to figure out what fits their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they may try one method or combine techniques to address symptoms and build life skills over time.
Online therapy makes regular work easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations, while phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth or easier when a quick check-in fits into a break. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients share updates between sessions or use shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options increase flexibility and help people stay consistent with their care.
