Online therapy and clinical methods
Tina offers online sessions that combine Client-Centered Therapy with elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In a Client-Centered framework she prioritizes the client’s own goals and perspective, focusing on reflective listening, empathetic engagement, and helping clients articulate what matters to them. This approach is presented as a collaborative conversation in which the client directs the pace and focus of work.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy components are used to introduce practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when these are relevant to a client’s goals. DBT-informed work emphasizes learning and practicing concrete strategies alongside ongoing discussion about values and relationships. Online delivery is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the communication format that best fits their needs while working with Tina.How much clinical experience does Tina have?
