About Tina

Tina Pogorzala is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 17 years of clinical experience supporting people facing a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She works with individuals, couples, and families who are managing stress, anxiety, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, anger, depression, grief, intimacy-related issues, and other struggles such as self-esteem, sleep and eating difficulties, career stress, and coping with major life changes.

Tina adapts her approach to each person's needs, blending evidence-based strategies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy with mindfulness and relational tools when helpful. She also integrates the Gottman Method for relationship work and can offer faith-informed therapy when clients specifically request it.

Her practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a collaborative planning process so treatment fits the client's goals and circumstances. Based in Florida, Tina brings practical problem-solving and compassionate listening to sessions while helping clients identify concrete steps forward.

She encourages people to acknowledge the courage it takes to begin therapy and partners with them to create achievable goals and sustainable coping strategies.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep or eating concerns by teaching concrete skills for coping and problem solving. The Gottman Method emphasizes practical communication and conflict tools for couples, helping partners build shared routines and repair strategies to improve relationship functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress reduction practices that can support emotional regulation, attention challenges, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Tina collaborates with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors a mix of methods to fit each person or couple. Together they evaluate what works, adjust strategies as progress unfolds, and prioritize short-term targets alongside longer-term growth.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to engage around busy schedules or from different locations within Florida. These formats allow for ongoing skill practice between sessions and can make regular contact more convenient, supporting steady forward momentum in therapy.
