About Tina

Tina Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee with nine years of experience. She focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, parenting strain, grief, trauma and relationship concerns. Tina also works with people coping with depression, anger, self-esteem struggles, career stress, and life changes.

She uses clear, practical conversation to help people notice what is getting in the way and try new ways of responding. Sessions tend to focus on small, doable steps rather than big promises. Tina invites clients to identify specific goals and then tests what works in daily life.

Her approach draws from client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective, and from cognitive behavioral ideas that look at how thoughts and behaviors interact. She also brings elements of motivational interviewing to build willingness for change, psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating patterns, and solution-focused techniques for short-term problem solving.

Tina’s work often addresses family-related concerns such as communication problems, caregiving stress, divorce and separation, and parenting difficulties. She also supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, chronic illness issues like cancer, and challenges tied to aging or caregiver roles.

People who choose her typically want straightforward feedback and practical steps they can use between sessions. To begin, she asks people to name current problems and priorities so sessions can focus on what matters most right now.

How sessions work

How her approaches work for online sessions

Tina commonly draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work focuses on the person's own goals and perspective, helping them clarify what matters and try ideas at their own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

She also uses motivational interviewing to build readiness for change by exploring a person's own reasons for wanting things to be different. Together these methods aim to make sessions collaborative, with the therapist and client agreeing on small steps that fit daily life rather than imposing a fixed plan.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. During initial contacts she helps figure out which approach and which session rhythm fit a client's goals and schedule.
