About Tina
Tina Argueta is a licensed professional counselor in Arizona who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, and ADHD-related concerns. She brings eight years of clinical experience and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is unsure or overwhelmed. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about difficult feelings.
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking, not lectures. Tina encourages small, achievable changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness-based ideas to address unhelpful thought patterns and daily habits. She also uses acceptance-focused strategies to help people tolerate hard emotions while still moving toward what matters to them. Tina has worked with people dealing with trauma and loss, addiction, depression, and identity-related concerns.
She pays attention to how past relationships and attachment patterns influence current behavior and connection. Conversations can include communication skills, boundary-setting, and coping tools for stress and emotional overwhelm. Outside of her clinical work she identifies as a mother, grandmother, daughter, and Christian, and she brings those perspectives to her human approach.
Tina offers sessions in English and provides several online formats to fit different schedules. If someone is ready to begin, she helps them take the next step in a straightforward way.
How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity through guided procedures and memory work.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tina will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and choose methods that fit their situation. That collaborative process allows tweaks over time so techniques match what’s most helpful in practice.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and worksheet work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat can fit quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief ongoing contact and reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to practice skills between sessions.
