Tina Resneck , LMHC

Tina Resneck is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington with 27 years of experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, addictions, and identity concerns. Tina also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, career questions, and body image or eating struggles.

Her sessions focus on listening first and building trust. She uses a client-centered style to tailor work to each person's needs. Tina draws on approaches such as emotionally-focused work and mindfulness to help people regulate feelings and improve communication.

Many clients seek her help after a major life change or when past hurt keeps resurfacing. She uses EMDR in trauma work to address strong memories and reduce their hold. Existential ideas help people find meaning when they feel stuck or empty.

Tina combines practical tools with reflective conversation. That might mean trying a breathing or mindfulness exercise in session, practicing new ways to speak up, or looking at how old family patterns shape current choices. Sessions aim to leave clients with concrete steps they can try between meetings.

She welcomes people from many walks of life, including LGBT clients, and those wrestling with attachment, adoption and foster care issues, or caregiving stress. Tina brings decades of clinical experience and a steady, empathetic approach to guide people toward clearer thinking and more manageable daily routines.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. It helps people feel heard and figure out what matters to them in therapy. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying and changing unhelpful emotional patterns, which can help with relationship distress and attachment concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used for trauma work to reduce the intensity of painful memories and their emotional charge.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods that fit the client's needs and adjust course as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice new communication in real time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for short check-ins, coaching-style work, or when someone wants ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
