She welcomes international clients and offers flexible ways to connect and begin work toward positive change.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like

Tina draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and close relationships shape current patterns of relating. This approach helps people understand difficulties with trust, abandonment, attachment issues and relationship dynamics, and can be useful for those recovering from trauma or unstable relational histories.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, a person-focused approach that prioritizes the client's experience and perspective. In practice this means offering empathic listening, validation and support so clients can clarify values, build self-esteem, and make choices that fit their goals.

In addition, Tina integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. CBT tools are often used alongside other approaches to create tailored, actionable plans.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Tina offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, to access support from different locations, and to continue work during transitions or when in-person meetings are not practical. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver meaningful therapeutic work through these remote formats while keeping the focus on the client's recovery and growth.
