Tina Bacigalupo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 18 years of practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, build self-esteem, and navigate career concerns and life transitions. Her style is warm and straightforward. She listens closely and helps identify practical steps forward.

People often come to Tina feeling stuck after a breakup, job change, or a stretch of overwhelming worry. She uses brief, clear conversations to map what is getting in the way. Sessions aim to surface patterns, try new ways of reacting, and track small changes that add up over time.

Tina draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. She also uses client-centered listening to follow what matters most to each person. Mindfulness practices are offered when sitting with strong feelings or tension becomes difficult.

She also brings elements of motivational interviewing and narrative therapy to help people clarify values and rewrite the stories that keep them limited. These methods are used to set realistic goals and to build confidence in everyday choices.

Tina works with adults facing relationship stress, issues of abandonment, codependency, family conflict, and related concerns such as guilt, shame, or loneliness. Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. She encourages small, doable changes and a clear plan for moving forward.

Practical approaches you can use online

CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It breaks problems into small parts so changes can be practiced between sessions.

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. This approach supports self-discovery and helps people feel heard while they decide next steps.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm strong feelings. These tools can make stressful moments easier to face and manage.

Tina will work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person based on needs and goals. That process often begins with trying one method and adjusting as progress is seen. She encourages clients to share preferences so sessions match their pace and priorities.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging offers flexibility for different situations. Video lets people read facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can fit into short breaks or require less bandwidth. Live chat and texting allow quick check-ins and written reflections between meetings. These options help therapy fit into a busy life while keeping work focused and practical.
