About Tina

Tina Argueta is an Arizona Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She is a mother and grandmother who brings a practical, people-focused approach to common struggles like anger, grief, and relationship strain. Tina works with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, LGBTQ+ related concerns, parenting stress, addiction, and life changes.

Her style centers on straightforward conversation and skill-building. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when appropriate. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on concrete steps to handle upsetting feelings and repeated patterns.

Tina describes the therapy space as one where people can speak honestly without judgment. She helps clients notice thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck and practice alternatives that reduce reactivity. For someone who snaps at loved ones or bottles up resentment, she aims to teach responses that feel more manageable.

Her experience includes working with trauma, grief and loss, and issues common in LGBTQ+ lives. She also addresses anger linked to parenting, caregiving stress, attachment and abandonment concerns, and relationship communication problems. Tina combines talking through situations with hands-on tools for coping.

Practical matters are part of the work. She guides people in building everyday habits that lower stress and limit flare-ups. The focus is on learning skills and applying them between sessions so changes are noticeable in daily life.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing thoughts and choosing actions that fit your values. Online sessions use that same process to help reduce reactivity and make clearer choices around anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and practicing small behavior changes; it often includes homework and short exercises that translate well to remote sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, useful when strong feelings escalate quickly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make the most sense based on goals and day-to-day life. That decision evolves as progress is made and as practical needs change.

The original biography did not list specific online session formats. Confirm the exact session options before booking so you know how meetings will run. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support skill practice between meetings. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to teach breathing and grounding exercises, walk through behavioral experiments, and review practice items without requiring travel.
