About Tina

Tina Mergerson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with three years of professional experience. As a clinician she focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, and the challenges that come with life transitions, and she has particular experience addressing compassion fatigue.

Her practice also extends to concerns related to aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, family and communication problems, and multicultural considerations among other areas. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to the individual needs and circumstances of the person seeking support.

Tina emphasizes a collaborative working style and encourages clients to view the first step toward change as an act of courage. She aims to support people through the process of building coping skills, finding clarity, and restoring a greater sense of balance in everyday life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapist's empathetic presence and collaboration. It focuses on understanding an individual’s experience and building a supportive relationship so people feel heard and can explore their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - helps identify patterns in thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful habits; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, with practical skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access care from home or between responsibilities, support continuity when life changes, and allow therapists to offer regular check-ins and skills practice in ways that suit each person.
