About Tina

Tina Resneck is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 27 years of practice. She supports adults facing identity questions, relationship strain, trauma, and major life changes. Tina often works with people managing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, parenting pressures, and concerns around self-esteem and intimacy.

She uses a client-centered stance that keeps conversations practical and focused. Sessions look at what causes distress in day-to-day life and what might help reduce it. Expect straightforward talk about patterns, feelings, and next steps you can try between meetings.

Tina draws on emotionally-focused work to look at how feelings and attachment shape relationships. That can help when someone wants clearer communication or to understand recurring conflicts. She also uses mindfulness techniques to build awareness and tools for handling strong emotions.

For people with traumatic memories, she includes methods from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which aim to reduce the hold painful memories have on current life. Existential ideas appear when clients raise questions about meaning, loss, or life direction.

Her background spans many areas that touch family life, such as adoption and foster care, blended family issues, aging and caregiver stress, and family of origin concerns. Tina accepts international clients and works in English. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Tina commonly uses client-centered work and emotionally-focused therapy in sessions. Client-centered work means conversations concentrate on the client’s immediate concerns and priorities, with the therapist reflecting and helping clarify goals. Emotionally-focused work looks at patterns in feelings and attachment to help people change how they relate to others.

She also brings in elements of mindfulness practice to help manage stress and strong emotions. Mindfulness exercises teach simple attention and breathing techniques that can be practiced between sessions to reduce reactivity. When trauma is central, she may use EMDR methods to address distressing memories and the ways they affect daily life.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they try a method and adjust it over time to better fit the client’s needs.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists generally work with clients to schedule times that suit work, family, or caregiving routines, and to agree on practical arrangements for each session.
