About Tina

Tina Argueta is an Arizona Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of experience. She is a mother and grandmother and brings that life experience into her work. Tina helps people with issues such as LGBTQ+ related concerns, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anxiety, and stress.

Tina listens without judgment and encourages straightforward conversation about thoughts and feelings. She aims to make sessions a place where people can talk through what is happening and figure out practical next steps. Her approach is collaborative and grounded in real-life concerns rather than jargon.

She uses a mix of techniques to address mood and behavior, including cognitive-behavioral methods and mindfulness-based ideas. Tina also works with acceptance-based strategies and skills to manage overwhelming emotions. For people with trauma history she can use approaches geared toward reducing the intensity of traumatic memories.

Tina often helps people facing life changes, parenting stress, blended household tensions, and problems with communication or commitment. She also addresses patterns like codependency, control issues, abandonment concerns, and difficulties tied to eating or substance use. Sessions focus on practical coping skills and clearer decision making.

Her work is influenced by personal values and by eight years of clinical practice in Arizona. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking and can expect a straightforward, conversational first meeting.

How her therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

Tina commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts without being driven by them and to act in line with their values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and making life changes. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behavior with concrete exercises, which can be useful for mood, anxiety, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tina collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and goals. She will talk through options, try methods, and adjust based on what is helpful and practical.

Confirm the current online session options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, save travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also let someone use lower-bandwidth options or keep the session audio-only if that helps. Discuss format preferences during the first meeting so sessions match everyday routines and responsibilities.
