About Tina

Tina Okenfuss is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arkansas with eight years of experience. She sees people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Tina also focuses on areas like abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care, aging concerns, and chronic illness.

Tina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and works collaboratively with each person. Sessions are practical and focused on steps a person can try between meetings. She helps clients develop clearer communication, stronger coping strategies, and more consistent self-respect.

Her background includes substantial work with older adults and people navigating major transitions like divorce, grief, and shifts in identity. She brings attention to the realities of daily life and practical problem solving rather than abstract theory. This means concrete tools and gradual practice.

Tina pays attention to how past relationships affect present patterns, including attachment struggles and issues tied to adoption or abandonment. She also addresses concerns that overlap, such as co-morbidity, codependency, and chronic health-related stress.

People who choose Tina often want clear steps and straightforward feedback. She helps set realistic goals and checks progress regularly. To begin, potential clients follow the site matching process and schedule a first session after completing a short questionnaire.

Evidence-based approaches and how online sessions work

Tina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach is cognitive-behavioral style work, which looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to test and change those patterns. This can help with anxiety, avoidance, and unhelpful self-talk.

Another approach focuses on attachment and relational patterns. This work examines how earlier relationships shape current interactions and helps people try different ways of relating in daily life. It can be useful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, or difficulties in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tina will discuss goals, preferences, and daily realities to decide together which techniques to try. She adjusts plans based on what helps and what feels doable for each person.
