About Tina

Dr. Tina Caro is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 23 years of experience. She holds a doctorate in counseling psychology and an MA in counseling. She works with people dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, grief, and anger.

Dr. Caro draws on practical counseling methods to address everyday problems. She focuses on clear goals and measurable steps. Sessions often center on what is happening now and what can change in daily life.

Her background includes private practice and teaching at the graduate level in counselor education. She has experience supervising licensed counselors and working with a wide range of concerns such as adoption-related issues, first responder stress, and midlife transitions.

In sessions she uses client-centered techniques alongside cognitive behavioral approaches and solution-focused strategies. She also brings trauma-focused work to situations where past events continue to affect current functioning.

People come for help with communication problems, commitment and intimacy concerns, career-related stress, and coping after loss. She is familiar with complex situations like domestic violence, divorce, blended family stress, and veteran-related issues. Her aim is practical: identify patterns, practice new responses, and build clearer ways to handle anger and stress.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's experience and perspectives. It emphasizes listening and reflecting so the person can notice choices and try different responses to anger and relationship problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches practical skills to recognize unhelpful thinking and rehearse new behaviors for stress, depression, or anger outbursts. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on short-term goals and actionable steps. It helps people identify small changes that produce noticeable relief at work or home. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods based on goals, current stressors, and personal preferences. That discussion guides what is tried first and how progress is checked. Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. If a phone session is preferred it can lower bandwidth needs and remove the need to be on camera. Discussing these practical details during the first scheduling step helps shape therapy to everyday life.
