Background and approach
Additional areas she commonly addresses include body image, codependency, commitment worries, and problems rooted in family of origin. In sessions she creates an open, nonjudgmental space for talking through feelings and choices. She tends to be a dive-right-in therapist who focuses on what feels most urgent for each person.
Sessions focus on practical steps and real-life coping skills that clients can use between meetings. Tina blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior ideas to help people change patterns and reduce distress. She also draws on narrative therapy and motivational interviewing to explore meaning and strengthen motivation for change.
Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented, helping people set achievable next steps. Tina practices in Indiana and conducts sessions in English. She works with adults dealing with life transitions, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns.
She aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable and respectful.
Approach and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their strengths. It gives space to talk without judgment and helps people clarify what matters to them and which changes they want to make.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. It offers simple, practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that are useful when strong emotions get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Tina will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they try strategies, track progress, and adjust the plan when something isn’t working.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues during deeper conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat work well for quick check-ins or spacing out support. These options help fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
