About Tina

Tina Phillips is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who brings decades of clinical experience to her work with individuals and families. She completed undergraduate studies in Communication Studies at UCLA and earned her graduate degree at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. Licensed for more than 30 years, she has repeatedly chosen to focus on practical, solution-oriented care and values the step people take when they reach out for support.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and intimacy-related issues. Tina has accumulated specific expertise across multiple populations - spending around a decade working with seniors, a decade supporting children and families, and a decade helping young adults with Autism. She has also worked in a psychiatric facility and with clients facing dual diagnosis, bringing substantial experience in addiction treatment.

Tina emphasizes collaborative problem solving and offers compassionate guidance through life transitions, parenting struggles, career questions, and complex emotional issues. She approaches work with a belief that solutions are attainable and that seeking help is an important act of self-care.

Applying Practical Therapies to Online Care

Tina draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor sessions to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns so they can manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress more effectively. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation across many life challenges. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and immediate steps clients can take to create meaningful change, making it useful for goal-oriented concerns such as relationship shifts or coping with transitions.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tina works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, then adapts techniques from these methods to suit the individual. This means treatment can shift over time as goals evolve and progress is made.

Online therapy with Tina is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules or different lifestyles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home or while traveling, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for the work at hand.
