Recognizing that reaching out for help takes courage, she aims to be a steady partner through transitions and difficult emotions. Her practice combines individualized care with evidence-informed techniques to help clients build coping skills, process loss, and regain a sense of balance at a pace that feels right for them.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Tina commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and supports personal growth - this approach is helpful for building self-understanding and emotional resilience. CBT is a practical, skills-based method that helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches strategies for changing them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts the plan as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit work into busy schedules, manage caregiving responsibilities, or access care from different locations. These options allow ongoing, consistent support while adapting to the practical realities of daily life.
