Approach-focused online support for families and individuals
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, stress, anger, and practical problem solving by offering structured techniques and clear, goal-oriented steps.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and build emotional regulation. These practices can support stress management, improve focus, and complement other therapeutic work such as trauma-informed approaches.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships and caregiving experiences shape current patterns in relationships and self-view. It can be particularly helpful for family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, abandonment and attachment difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She integrates different techniques when appropriate and checks in regularly to adapt the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and for clients who live outside the therapist's immediate area. These options make it easier to maintain consistent appointments, fit therapy around family or work commitments, and access registered professionals from different locations while still receiving focused, goal-oriented support.
