About Tina
Tina Argueta is an Arizona Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of experience. She is a mother and grandmother who combines personal insight with clinical work. She focuses on issues such as relationship concerns, grief, trauma and LGBTQ+ related matters, among other challenges people bring into therapy.
She works in a straightforward, conversational way. Sessions focus on naming patterns that started in the family of origin and on skills to respond differently now. Tina uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people manage strong emotions and change unhelpful thoughts. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and EMDR when those approaches fit the issue at hand.
Typical topics she addresses include anxiety, depression, addictions, parenting stress, and problems with intimacy or communication. She also supports people dealing with attachment questions, abandonment concerns, and codependency patterns that trace back to childhood roles and expectations.
Tina aims to work together with each person to set clear goals and measurable steps. In sessions she listens, reflects, and offers concrete exercises for practicing between meetings. Her approach blends talking, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness skills to build everyday coping.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Tina commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-driven actions. ACT involves simple exercises to clarify what matters and small steps toward those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. CBT sessions often include homework exercises to practice new ways of thinking and acting. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) may be used for people processing traumatic memories; EMDR involves guided attention and structured processing to reduce distress around specific memories.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. From that discussion she collaborates with the client to try methods that fit and adjusts the plan based on how things are progressing.
The practical value of online work is fitting sessions into everyday life. Confirm the current session formats before booking to know which options are offered. Online appointments can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or choose a quieter setting. The therapist and client can decide together how often to meet and which approaches to use between sessions for steady progress.
