01About Tina
Tina Smith is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or depression. Her manner is warm and down-to-earth, and she focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
In sessions she creates a calm space for people to talk about tough feelings without fear of judgment. Conversations are guided by the person’s goals, not a preset agenda.
Background and approach
She speaks plainly and offers strategies that fit daily life, such as coping skills for anxiety and ways to rebuild confidence. Tina uses client-centered methods to make sure each person’s experience is heard and respected. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance when emotions feel overwhelming.
These approaches are used together to match what a person needs in the moment. She has helped people navigate family and parenting concerns, adoption and foster care issues, attachment questions, blended family challenges, and family of origin patterns. Other areas of focus include caregiver stress, communication struggles, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness.
Tina works with people who want straightforward guidance and steady support as they try new ways of coping. She encourages small, manageable changes and helps track progress over time.

Practical approaches for online counseling
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what is said, and helps people clarify their goals and values. This approach is useful for building trust and for working through feelings about family, parenting, and self-worth.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. DBT skills include techniques for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and clear communication, which can help during high-stress times or when anxiety feels overwhelming.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what is most helpful. This is a collaborative process that centers the person’s needs, preferences, and pace.
Online therapy offers options to suit different days and situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking homework, and getting support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain steady progress.
