About Tina

Background and approach

She is identified as Dr. Tina Smith and brings six years of professional counseling experience based in Colorado, holding LPC licensure.

Her work emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change while integrating cognitive-behavioral strategies and emotion-focused interventions to address symptoms and strengthen coping skills. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and intimacy-related issues.

Additional focus areas include caregiving stress, communication and family problems, gender dysphoria, and autism and Asperger syndrome. Tina draws on mindfulness practices and the Gottman Method where appropriate to support emotional regulation, improve communication, and foster healthier connections.

She offers therapy that is collaborative and strengths-based, meeting clients where they are and tailoring methods to individual needs. Sessions are available through multiple online formats and can accommodate English-speaking and international clients.

Prospective clients are encouraged to complete a brief matching questionnaire to begin the process and schedule according to therapist availability.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for effective online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and respect for the client's experience, creating a supportive environment where clients feel heard and understood; this approach is useful for building trust and exploring personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaches practical skills to change those patterns, which is often helpful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognize and shift emotional responses in relationships to improve connection and communication, making it a strong fit for intimacy-related concerns and relationship work.

Finding the right approach is typically a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to evaluate goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, and adjusts techniques over time so care aligns with what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and lets clients engage from different locations and time zones. These formats can make ongoing support more accessible for busy schedules, travel, or international clients, while allowing a licensed professional to apply CBT, EFT, mindfulness, and client-centered practices in ways tailored to each person's needs.
