About Tina
In sessions she listens closely and helps people name what matters to them. She uses straightforward tools to build coping skills and to reduce overwhelming thoughts. Conversations are practical and paced to suit what the person needs that day.
Tina draws on several approaches to tailor care. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness practices are offered to strengthen present-moment awareness and calm.
Her background includes work with people facing relationship strain, caregiver stress, aging concerns, addiction, and the fallout of family conflict. That experience informs a calm, steady style in the room. Tina aims to make change feel possible by mixing skill-building with personal reflection.
People who want clear steps, gentle accountability, and a focus on daily functioning often find her style useful. She encourages open conversation about goals and adapts techniques as those goals evolve.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Tina uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core tools. ACT helps people clarify what matters and take small steps toward values-based goals, which can ease feelings of being stuck. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. It can allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and let people continue therapy when relocating or living abroad. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and mindfulness practices so they work well in remote sessions.
