Remote care using evidence-based practices
Tina provides online and phone-based sessions that use a range of clinical approaches suited to remote formats. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging are all available methods for connecting. These options allow work on stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, relationship issues, grief, and related concerns listed among her specialties.In video and phone sessions she often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns while teaching practical skills to manage symptoms. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques can be used to build emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance skills, particularly when intense emotions or relationship conflict are present. Motivational interviewing is available as a collaborative tool for clients considering change related to substance use, ambivalence, or life transitions.
Therapeutic work is structured around client goals, with an emphasis on skill practice, reflective exploration, and stepwise problem solving. Clients and Tina decide together which modalities and communication methods best fit their needs and pace.
