About Tina
Dr. Tina Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado. She brings six years of clinical experience and a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions.
She often helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, or ADHD-related challenges. She uses a client-centered stance that starts with listening and understanding a person's goals. From there she blends cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas when relationship patterns and attachment issues are central concerns. Her background includes work in clinical mental health and correctional settings, and she has supported people facing addictions, trauma, grief, and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar. She has experience with caregiving stress, chronic illness, and communication problems that wear on everyday life.
Dr. Smith has worked with people from many cultural and identity backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ communities and BIPOC clients. Dr.
Smith approaches therapy with a strengths-based attitude. Sessions typically focus on practical steps you can try between meetings, clearer communication with others, and ways to manage strong emotions. She values the relationship in therapy and works with each person to find what helps them move forward.
She offers services in English and works with international clients as needed. Her practice includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, so people can choose what fits their schedule and needs.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Dr. Smith often combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused work. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience, offering empathy and a nonjudgmental space so people can talk through what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or cope with ADHD-related challenges. Emotionally-focused ideas are useful when partners or relationship patterns are a core concern, helping people notice interaction cycles and practice different responses.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Smith will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. That conversation guides which methods she uses, and the plan can change over time as needs shift.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this kind of work. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and are good for deeper skill-building and relationship work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone wants a simpler check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share short updates, ask questions between sessions, or schedule brief check-ins without a full session. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
