About Tina
Tina LaPorta is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and adolescents who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions.

Tina trained with two master’s degrees in psychology - one in college teaching and one in counseling with a marriage and family therapy focus. Her background includes community mental health, outpatient and intensive programs, and work in federal settings supporting active duty service members and veterans.
In clinical roles she has worked with people with complex symptoms and substance use concerns across outpatient, IOP, and partial hospitalization programs. She combines that experience with a pragmatic style that emphasizes problem solving and realistic goals.
People who choose her typically want steady, practical guidance. Tina aims to help clients build better coping skills, improve communication, and make changes that fit their everyday life.

Approaches that translate to online work
Tina frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her clinical work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors through practical exercises and step-by-step plans, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people feel understood so they can find their own solutions, which can be useful for relationship, self-esteem, and grief concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they shape a plan and try approaches that fit the client’s needs, adjusting as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and maintain momentum between appointments. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make scheduling around work or family obligations simpler. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available formats before booking to know what will work best for your schedule and needs.
