About Tina
Tina Argueta is a licensed professional counselor in Arizona who focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and life challenges. She draws on eight years of clinical experience to guide clients through anger, grief, anxiety, stress, relationship strain, and related concerns. Tina presents as warm and straightforward, inviting people to talk about what feels overwhelming and to take practical steps forward.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can name difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions often begin with what matters most to the client and then move to skills and choices that fit everyday life. Tina emphasizes clear goals and small, achievable changes so progress feels real and manageable. Her work uses a mix of methods to match each person’s needs.
She brings in techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts, dialectical behavior therapy to build emotion regulation skills, and acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and direction. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing may be offered for processing traumatic memories when appropriate. Tina has experience addressing addictions, LGBTQ concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She also supports people coping with separation, attachment wounds, codependency, and eating-related issues. Her approach balances practical skill building with attention to personal values and relationships. People who choose her often want clear tools and a steady guide through hard moments.
Tina aims to empower clients to face change, reduce reactive patterns, and move toward a more sustainable, calmer daily life.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses on meaningful goals and small steps rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable feeling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. These techniques work well for anger, anxiety, depression, and stress because they produce concrete strategies to use between sessions. EMDR can be used to process traumatic memories with a structured set of steps when trauma work is needed.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust the plan over time. Clients often blend approaches - for example learning calm-down skills from CBT while using ACT to clarify what matters most. This collaborative process helps find what actually helps the person in daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets the therapist and client work closely and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be a simpler fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support quick reflections, reminders, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other responsibilities.
