About Tina

Tina Argueta is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, LGBTQ+ related concerns, anxiety, depression, and stress. Tina aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings without judgment.

Tina is a mother and grandmother who brings ordinary language to sessions. She listens for what matters most to each person and uses clear, step-by-step approaches. Sessions focus on practical skills and real-life problem solving rather than jargon.

Her work draws on several evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. These methods are used to help with managing strong emotions, reorganizing unhelpful patterns, and working through traumatic memories when appropriate.

Tina also attends to issues that often come with relationship struggles - communication problems, commitment concerns, codependency, and blended family adjustments. She supports people coping with life changes like divorce, caregiving stress, and loss.

In sessions she focuses on concrete tools people can use between meetings - breathing and grounding strategies, thought-work, and communication skills. She encourages small, doable steps toward clearer boundaries and healthier reactions. To begin, the site asks for a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts without getting stuck in them and identify values to guide action. ACT can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and making clearer decisions about relationships or work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday coping challenges.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. It is commonly applied when past traumatic events continue to cause current distress.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans as needed based on what works.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific session types. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when that suits a schedule. Therapists can suggest practical homework, brief skill practice between meetings, and ways to use sessions without disrupting daily life.
