About Tina

Tina Pogorzala is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common pressures of early adulthood and beyond, including stress, anxiety, relationship strain, ADHD, anger, and depression.

Tina helps people talk through life changes such as career shifts, parenting stress, and grief. She also supports concerns about intimacy, self-esteem, sleep and eating issues, and the emotional strain of caregiving or chronic illness. Her practice notes work around blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care related issues, and attachment challenges.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, with mindfulness techniques woven into sessions. She uses these methods to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, try new behaviors, and set short-term goals that build momentum. The Gottman Method is part of how she addresses relationship communication and conflict when couples work together.

Tina offers faith-informed care on request for clients who want that perspective included. She aims to make sessions practical, focusing on steps people can try between meetings. Her background includes long-term work with conditions such as bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and trauma related to domestic violence or disaster.

Sessions are conducted from Florida and are delivered in English. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to get started.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new actions. CBT is practical and often focuses on short-term skills for anxiety, low mood, and ADHD-related patterns. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus, useful for stress and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tina will discuss goals and preferences with each client and suggest which methods to prioritize. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during therapy.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list explicit formats. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, school, and parenting by removing commute time and allowing meetings from a convenient location. Others prefer shorter check-ins when life is busy, or audio-only meetings when camera time feels taxing. Talk with the therapist during the matching process to choose session timing and a format that fits daily life.
