Tina Argueta is a licensed professional counselor in Arizona who supports people facing anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship strain, and struggles with identity or addiction. She writes in a straightforward way and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed. She creates a calm space where people can say what they’re feeling without judgment.
Sessions focus on practical steps and steady progress rather than rushed fixes.
Background and approach
Tina sees therapy as a partnership and encourages clients to set goals they care about. Her work blends several commonly used approaches. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and tolerate hard feelings.
Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. When trauma is involved she may incorporate EMDR-informed strategies alongside mindfulness and emotion-regulation tools. Over eight years in practice she has supported people with depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD challenges, and the stress that comes from caregiving or major life changes.
She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related concerns, communication problems, codependency, and issues that follow separation or divorce. Tina is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - practicing in Arizona. Sessions are offered in English and follow a format that matches each person’s needs, from video calls to phone, chat, or text-based messaging.
She aims to help people find steady ways to cope and move forward.
How therapeutic approaches translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters most and take small actions toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is helpful for depression, anxiety, and mood-related concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) informed strategies are sometimes used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories by working through them in structured steps.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and what feels doable. Together they try methods and adjust the plan so it fits the person's pace and preferences rather than forcing one technique on everyone.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for a full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging helps with quick support or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or other responsibilities.
