About Tina

Tina Owen is a licensed clinical social worker who brings seven years of formal clinical practice to her Louisiana-based work, holding both LICSW and LCSW credentials (RI LICSW ISW04512, LA LCSW 16406). She completed an MSSW in 2017 and pairs professional training with broad behavioral health experience.

Background and approach

Tina emphasizes trauma processing and grief support while also working with adults navigating ADHD and autism, and she identifies as neurodivergent affirming and an ally to BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities. Her approach is warm and relaxed, blending humor and affirmation with focused clinical techniques drawn from psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and solution-focused traditions among others.

Tina describes therapy as a collaborative process: she and each client determine goals and methods together, tailoring sessions to individual needs. People who often feel like they don’t quite belong may find her perspective particularly resonant.

Sessions are offered through multiple online formats and she accepts international clients. Tina aims to create a welcoming environment where adults can explore trauma, anxiety, grief, stress, and related concerns and work toward practical, personally meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and then supports practical changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skill building in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help manage overwhelming feelings and improve relationships. Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring ambivalence and enhancing personal motivation for change, which can be useful when someone is working toward specific goals or behavior shifts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively to find methods that match a client's needs, goals, and preferences. Together the client and therapist will try techniques, assess progress, and adapt the plan so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, travel, or busy home lives, and they allow licensed professionals to deliver many of the same evidence-informed approaches used in person.
