Greetings,
I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker and practicing Psychotherapist in the state of Virginia. I am a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University, with a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology and a master’s degree in clinical social work. I have over 15 years of experience in private practice providing therapy to adults, couples, children, families and groups.
I have experience working with individuals who are challenged by depression, anxiety, trauma, grief/loss issues and substance abuse with co-occurring mental health challenges. In addition, I have experience across a variety of settings, including community behavioral health organizations, the University Counseling Center and various work place environments.
I describe my therapy style as eclectic, and client centered, I approach the therapeutic relationship with authenticity, empathy and respect. I believe in starting where you are and first and foremost establishing therapeutic rapport. I frequently utilize modalities including; cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectic behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic therapy, strengths based and mindfulness-based strategies. I have also provided crisis and disruptive event management and provided trauma response counseling to the survivors of the Virginia Beach, Virginia tragedy. In addition, I provide short term/ brief therapy for the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and received specialized training and certification in the treatment of anxiety and panic disorders.
Finally, I believe that we all have the potential to change challenging situations and the ability to reach our fullest potential. My goal as a therapist is to assist you with achieving your fullest potential through helping you confront your challenges and discover new strengths . I look forward to working with you and assisting you with achieving your goals.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Overall rating:
I like her. She is an excellent listener and provides good feedback.
Great listener and provides feedback. She's easy to talk with.
Tina was a great listener, down to earth, easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her
Tina has been great. I can tell she is actually listening and makes me feel safe talking to her.
Tina was more than I expected for a first session. She actively listens, asked great thought provoking follow up questions and didn't let me 'walk by' a key concern needing exploring. I ended the session feeling better. And though I said I feel better now in the moment but it won't last, she challenged me to give it time where feeling better will more longer lasting. I believe Tina is my person to push me to work through being 'uncomfortable' and to quite her 'got to get through to get to' is a journey.
Tina knows what she is doing! In my short time with her, she helped me realize things that I had never thought about before. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing counseling.
Tina has been a blessing to me, helping me work through some extremely difficult times. She also knows when to move past something I'm not ready to work on yet. It's really helps me with the issues I'm facing.
