She draws on nine years of clinical experience in Tennessee and blends several approaches to fit each person.

She also uses client-centered techniques to build a trusting space where people feel heard.

Tina often combines motivational interviewing with solution-focused work to help people set clear, manageable goals. She encourages small, sustainable changes that can add up over time. Sessions include steps to cope with anger, low self-esteem, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue.

When starting therapy, Tina works collaboratively to identify realistic goals and simple strategies. She acknowledges that change can feel scary and treats progress as something to celebrate along the way.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel understood and can choose their next steps. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change by clarifying values and increasing motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. They mix and match methods so the plan fits the person, and adjust strategies as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and visual connection, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are suited to quick check-ins, brief skills practice, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
