How Tina's Approaches Work Online
Tina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves tracking patterns, testing new behaviors, and trying small experiments between sessions to shift anxiety or sleep habits.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple breathing and awareness exercises. These skills aim to reduce reactivity, calm racing thoughts, and support better sleep and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Then they decide together whether to emphasize CBT, mindfulness, or solution-focused steps in sessions.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fewer disruptions to daily routines. Online work can make it simpler to fit sessions into a lunch break, manage transportation limits, or maintain contact while traveling.
