How her therapeutic approaches work for online sessions
Tina commonly uses client-centered approaches and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy means conversations focus on the client’s priorities and feelings, with the therapist following the client’s lead to build clarity. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior, then testing small changes to see what helps reduce stress and anxiety.She also integrates mindfulness in brief, practical ways to help reduce reactivity and improve attention. Mindfulness exercises are taught as simple practices you can use between sessions to notice thoughts and calm bodily tension. Together these approaches help with relationship issues, career decisions, and coping with life transitions by making problems more manageable and concrete.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Tina will work with each person to decide which techniques match their goals and preferences. She supports trialing different approaches and adjusting plans based on what feels useful.
