Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Tina listens first, then helps set small, achievable goals. She works with clients to build skills for handling emotions, improving communication, and reducing stress in daily life.

People often come to Tina feeling stuck after a breakup, career shift, or other transition. She also supports those dealing with feelings of shame, abandonment, isolation, or grief related to family changes. The focus is on practical changes that fit each person’s life and schedule.

Tina offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible ways to stay in touch between meetings. She works in English and provides services to people in Michigan. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to her availability.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Tina commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT is practical and often focuses on skills you can use between sessions. She also integrates mindfulness therapy to teach grounding and breathing practices that reduce stress and promote focus, useful during busy days. Narrative therapy is another tool she draws on to help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Tina discusses goals and preferences with each person and suggests methods that match their needs. She adjusts techniques over time so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let you keep visual connection and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be good for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow frequent, brief contact between meetings for reflections or reminders. These options give flexibility so people can keep progress going even when schedules change.
