About Tina

Tina Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She supports adults and families facing stress, anxiety, low motivation, self-esteem concerns, confidence issues, and depression, and she brings a patient, steady presence to each therapeutic relationship. As an LPC she focuses on building a space where people can speak openly about difficult thoughts and emotions without judgment, helping them take practical steps toward a more satisfying and balanced life.

Tina works collaboratively with clients to identify goals and develop strategies that fit each person or family, drawing on evidence-informed approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She has additional experience addressing family and parenting challenges, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, communication problems, and a range of mood and personality-related struggles. Tina emphasizes empowerment, encouraging clients to practice new skills and make gradual changes that reflect their values and priorities.

Client-Centered and DBT-Informed Online Care

Tina Smith uses Client-Centered Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as central parts of her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where the therapist listens carefully and helps clients explore their own goals and solutions - this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, improving motivation, and addressing stress and anxiety. DBT teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships, making it useful for clients who struggle with mood regulation, communication problems, or patterns of reactive behavior.

Determining the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Tina works with each person to understand their concerns, preferences, and goals, and then tailors interventions so they fit daily life and long-term aims. This collaborative stance helps clients try strategies, adjust as needed, and track progress together with their therapist.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to connect from home, coordinate sessions around work or family responsibilities, and maintain continuity of care even when schedules change. Licensed professionals can adapt traditional techniques to these formats so that therapy remains focused, practical, and supportive.
