Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Tina frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, along with Motivational Interviewing, to support clients in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, stress, and many mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relational challenges. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, nonconfrontational approach that supports people in clarifying their goals and strengthening their motivation to make changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Tina works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Tina is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, maintain continuity of care across locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for the work at hand.
