About Tina
Tina Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 11 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low motivation, low self-esteem, and depression. Tina aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through difficult thoughts and emotions. Sessions focus on understanding what is getting in the way and finding small, concrete changes that fit each person's life. Tina emphasizes practical coping skills and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Her background includes working with a wide range of family and relationship concerns, including adoption and foster care issues, attachment-related struggles, blended family dynamics, and family of origin problems. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and grief around guilt and shame.
Tina uses client-centered methods that follow each person's pace and priorities. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when those skills are helpful.
Clients can expect a supportive partner in therapy who focuses on practical steps, honest conversation, and realistic goals. If someone wants help sorting through family stressors, building confidence, or easing anxiety and depression, Tina offers a steady, compassionate approach to that work.
How therapy approaches shape online sessions
Tina uses client-centered therapy to follow each person's lead, focusing on listening, reflection, and working at a comfortable pace. This approach helps people who want a therapist who hears their priorities and helps them set personal goals.She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, skills when helpful. DBT offers practical tools for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and tolerating distress during stressful times.
Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as progress develops. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what actually helps the person in their daily life.
