About Tina
Tina Argueta is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing anxiety, grief, trauma, and relationship strain. She speaks plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters most to each person. Tina creates a calm space where someone can say what they’re feeling and figure out next steps without judgment.
She draws on eight years of work supporting people through tough transitions. That includes helping with depression, addiction concerns, self-esteem, and stress from caregiving or blended family life.
Background and approach
She also addresses issues like attachment wounds, abandonment fears, codependency, and challenges tied to intimacy and communication. Tina uses practical approaches that aim to change unhelpful patterns and build skills for daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety and depression.
Mindful, acceptance-focused techniques help people tolerate difficult emotions while moving toward personal values. For people with trauma histories, Tina incorporates methods that reduce distress around painful memories and increase emotional regulation. She also works with clients on problem-solving for parenting stresses, relationship conflicts, and life changes like separation or loss.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation, goal-focused planning, and tools they can use between sessions. Tina emphasizes collaboration - clients set the pace and priorities. Her Arizona license as an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) reflects her professional standing in the state.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. It often involves clear goals, at-home exercises, and skills practice for things like worry and low mood.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to reduce distress tied to painful memories by processing those memories in a structured way. It can be part of trauma-focused work when appropriate.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Tina will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The first steps include talking about priorities and testing what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let therapists observe nonverbal cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or clients prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when someone needs frequent, low-intensity contact. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or other routines while keeping the focus on real-world skills and progress.
