About Tina
Tina Owen is a licensed clinical social worker with experience in Louisiana and Rhode Island. She holds a Master of Science in Social Work, earned in 2017, and brings seven years of licensed practice along with many earlier years in the behavioral health field. Tina keeps a relaxed, warm style in sessions and aims to make people feel heard and affirmed.
Tina focuses on trauma processing, including post-traumatic stress and childhood interpersonal trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
She also supports people working through grief, including grief related to pet loss. Adults living with ADHD or autism may find her approach relatable, and she describes her practice as neurodivergent affirming and LGBTQIA+ ally friendly. Her sessions tend to be personable and down-to-earth.
She uses humor and warmth to build trust and reduce tension. Conversations are paced to fit the person in front of her rather than a rigid agenda. Tina draws from a range of approaches to match a person’s needs.
She blends practical tools with time for processing feelings and past experiences. Goals are set together and adjusted over time as progress is made. People who feel out of place or struggle with isolation often connect with her style.
She invites collaboration and focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk and work toward change.
Therapeutic approaches and online access
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or stress. It is often used for worry, social anxiety, and managing ADHD-related challenges with routines and focus.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those tools are useful when intense emotions, overwhelm, or relationship conflict make daily life harder.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tina will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different rhythms of life. Video is good for fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, or ongoing support between calls. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
