About Tina
Tina Argueta is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona with eight years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as LGBTQ+ related concerns, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anxiety and depression. Tina presents herself as a mother and Christian and brings that lived perspective into her clinical work.
She focuses on making sessions straightforward and conversational. Tina aims to help people name what feels hard and try practical steps to change how they respond. She uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and Client-Centered Therapy in ways that fit each person.
In a typical session she listens to what matters most right now, then suggests small, doable practices. These might include attention and mindfulness skills, learning new ways of reacting to difficult thoughts, or specific behavior changes to reduce stress. For trauma-related concerns she may use EMDR techniques alongside skills work.
Tina also helps with everyday pressures that are common in young adulthood - starting careers, shifting relationships, and coping with life transitions. She addresses issues tied to identity, self-esteem, and feelings of emptiness or overwhelm. Practical problem-solving and skill-building are part of the work.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. People who choose to work with her should expect a mix of talking, skills practice, and sometimes structured exercises between sessions. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site's intake steps to match and schedule a first appointment.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
The therapist commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when thoughts and feelings are uncomfortable. ACT can help with anxiety, stress, and confusion about direction in life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life experiments. CBT is practical for depression, worry, relationship patterns, and problems with motivation or procrastination.
EMDR is also part of the toolkit for trauma and abuse work. In plain terms, EMDR involves structured sets of attention tasks alongside memory processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related reactions.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the early work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit their needs. That process is collaborative and can change over time as progress and setbacks occur.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online counseling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, limit travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between classes. Phone or lower-bandwidth options can be useful when video is difficult, while video sessions allow more visual cues during skill demonstrations.
