About Tina
Tina uses clear conversation to identify obstacles and set achievable goals. She listens without judgement and helps people name what is getting in the way of feeling better. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and small experiments that can be used between meetings.
Her work covers relationship concerns and self-esteem struggles, plus career questions and coping with big life changes. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, family problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Tina pays attention to how patterns of thought and behavior keep problems going, then looks for alternatives.
Several therapy methods inform her style, including client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral approaches, and mindfulness practices. She blends these to match each person’s needs and pace rather than following a single script. The result is a flexible, down-to-earth way of working.
Tina speaks English and practices in Michigan. Her counseling emphasizes collaboration - she and the client decide together what to try next. To begin, clients use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How her approaches guide online work
Tina commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and meeting each person where they are, which helps people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and self-doubt.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks. It can also make shorter or more frequent touchpoints possible when that better suits someone’s needs. Ask about the available session types when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling matches your routine.
