About Tina
Tina Argueta is an Arizona Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She is a mother and grandmother who brings practical attention to issues people commonly face at home, including relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and challenges related to LGBTQ+ identity.
She helps people talk through hard moments without judgement. Sessions focus on clear goals and straightforward strategies that fit everyday life. Conversations can cover intimacy-related concerns, family conflict, communication problems, and coping with major life changes like separation or loss.
Tina draws on several established approaches to guide her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports making values-based choices even when feelings are difficult. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma processing when appropriate.
Her background includes focused work with addiction issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, caregiver stress, and codependency patterns. She pays attention to how attachment and abandonment concerns show up in relationships and in parenting. Practical problem solving and skill building are part of the plan alongside talking about feelings.
People who reach out can expect a direct, steady approach that centers what matters most at home. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details using the platform's options.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what truly matters to them and take steps toward those values even when emotions are hard. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions where values-driven choices matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking that cause distress and trying practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes concrete skills for regulating intense emotions and improving communication.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit the client’s situation. That planning is collaborative and may change as needs evolve.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since none are specified in this profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy family routines. They can reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in during a break, or avoid needing to be on camera for the full session depending on what the platform supports. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep therapy practical and aligned with everyday life.
