About Tina
Tina Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas with 11 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation struggles, and depression. She also has experience with parenting and family concerns and related challenges.
In sessions she uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters most to each person. She focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can sort through thoughts and feelings. The goal is practical work people can use between meetings, not abstract theory.
Tina brings experience with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family problems, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, and control and dependent personality patterns. She also addresses issues such as guilt, shame, forgiveness, emptiness, and separation after divorce.
Her approach includes Client-Centered Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). That means sessions often center on the person’s priorities while teaching skills for emotion regulation and coping. Sessions aim to build clearer thinking and better day-to-day strategies.
People who prefer direct conversation and practical tools may find this approach helpful. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and any other logistical details.
How her approaches fit online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experiences. It involves the therapist listening closely, reflecting what is said, and letting the client lead topics. This approach helps when someone wants to sort out feelings about relationships, parenting, or daily stress.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. It includes strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal skills, which can be useful for anxiety and family-related conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tina will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs and help choose whether to emphasize client-centered conversations, DBT skills, or a mix. That collaborative process adjusts as the person’s needs change.
Confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel, or allow a shorter check-in when time is limited. Many people find skills practice and brief coaching tools translate well to remote sessions, and the therapist will help adapt methods to practical routines.
