Evidence-based methods and online sessions
Tina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. This method helps people notice automatic thoughts, test their accuracy, and try different coping strategies.Another frequent focus is trauma-informed work that helps a person make sense of past painful experiences and their present effects. That approach includes building tolerance for difficult feelings, improving emotion regulation, and practicing safer interpersonal boundaries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and is negotiated together. Tina will discuss what feels most useful based on a person’s goals, history, and day-to-day needs. She aims to adjust techniques over time to fit how someone responds in sessions.

Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-in meetings when needed. Licensed professionals are able to offer consistent weekly sessions or more flexible arrangements depending on what a person and the therapist agree will best support their goals.
