She also supports clients dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, career concerns, and the strain of life changes.

Tina focuses on straightforward, practical work in sessions. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and builds on existing strengths.
Background and approach
Conversations are aimed at clear goals, problem solving, and finding ways to reduce daily stress and reactivity. Her approach balances listening with active tools. Tina offers real-time strategies to manage intense emotions, improve communication, and handle parenting or career pressures.
She also addresses sleep problems, low self-esteem, and burnout from caregiving or work-related compassion fatigue. Over two decades in practice have given her experience with trauma, depression, ADHD-related concerns, and intimacy-related issues. Tina uses techniques that are grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques while keeping sessions practical and focused on measurable progress.
She encourages people to take small, achievable steps and to notice strength and change along the way. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to therapist availability. Sessions are offered through a range of online formats to fit different needs and routines.

Approaches that help manage strong emotions online
Many clients find benefit from short-term, skills-focused approaches that teach ways to manage intense feelings. One common approach uses practical emotion-regulation techniques that help people notice triggers, reduce escalation, and respond differently when anger or stress arises. These techniques are useful for relationship tensions, work stress, and parenting challenges.Another helpful approach emphasizes behavioral strategies and problem solving. This involves breaking problems into smaller steps, testing changes in daily routines, and practicing new habits to improve sleep, concentration, or self-esteem. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.
Selecting the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s situation and adjust the plan as progress is observed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, coaching-style support, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while still working on anger management and related concerns.
