Tina Peck , LCSW

Tina Peck is an LCSW based in Utah who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and challenges with self-esteem. She also supports people navigating grief, career questions, relationship and family concerns, and issues related to LGBT identity. Tina aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so clients can find relief that fits their lives.

She uses clear, structured methods in sessions. Tina draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behavior. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to build emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of her approach when past harm is getting in the way of daily life.

Across nine years of clinical work she has spent time supporting people with addiction, survivors of domestic violence, and those living with chronic health needs. Her background includes work with a wide age range and multiple care settings, which informs a flexible, down-to-earth style in sessions.

Tina aims to make sessions collaborative. She checks in about goals, teaches practical skills, and uses short-term strategies alongside deeper work when needed. The focus is on helping people manage symptoms, increase coping skills, and make steady changes that matter to them.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through a mix of formats. Tina describes herself as approachable and direct, and she works to help clients build tools they can use between appointments.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Two approaches commonly used are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. DBT teaches skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling conflicts more effectively.

Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events are still causing problems in daily life. This approach helps people process traumatic memories at a pace that fits them and learn ways to reduce triggers and overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences, and then tailor methods to what the person needs. That means trying practical tools first, and shifting to deeper trauma work when it seems appropriate.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes therapy more flexible. Video is useful for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text can fit quick check-ins or brief skill practice. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity between appointments.
