About Katina

Katina (Tina) Smith is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana with 26 years of clinical experience. She is a down-to-earth, caring, and concerned practitioner who has worked with children, adolescents, and adults to address emotional pain and life challenges. LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor, a credential that reflects professional training and state licensure to provide counseling services.

She helps people move toward healing from issues that cause pain, frustration, confusion, or uncertainty, guiding clients toward improved emotional health and greater peace of mind. Her work spans relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety and stress, anger, addictions, family and parenting challenges, grief and loss, intimacy and eating-related issues, and coping with life changes.

Known for a practical and empathetic style, she blends collaborative listening with evidence-informed techniques to support clients in identifying goals, building coping skills, and making meaningful changes. She also brings attention to complex areas such as abandonment, codependency, communication and control issues, blended family dynamics, and recovery from domestic violence. Her approach aims to help people feel heard, understood, and better equipped to navigate their lives.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy Sessions

Katina (Tina) Smith draws from client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the pace and focus of sessions while the therapist offers empathy and understanding to help people explore their concerns and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and related patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps clients and couples deepen emotional awareness and strengthen secure connections by exploring patterns in attachment and emotional expression.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor methods that fit each person, adjusting techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve. Licensed professionals often blend these approaches to suit individual circumstances.

Online therapy with Katina (Tina) Smith offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from home or while traveling, while still engaging in focused, therapeutic work with an experienced therapist.
