About Tina
Tina Salerno is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 31 years of experience based in Florida. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, grief, relationship struggles, ADHD, and other life challenges. Her manner is direct and compassionate, aimed at practical change rather than long explanations.
She uses clear, simple conversations to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on coping skills, understanding patterns, and small steps that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Tina balances active tools with time to talk through feelings and past experiences. Her work draws on several therapy methods, including client-centered talk, cognitive behavioral strategies, and dialectical skills for managing intense emotions. She may also use motivational techniques to help with change and relationship-focused tools to improve communication.
These approaches are chosen to fit a person’s needs and goals, not as one-size-fits-all fixes. Tina has helped people manage sleep and eating struggles, work through parenting stress and caregiver fatigue, and address career concerns or identity questions. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, attachment issues, and complicated grief.
Conversations often include concrete plans for coping between sessions. Tina offers sessions in English and Armenian and works with international clients as well. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their timing and preferences.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care Options
Tina commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people arrive at their own solutions; it’s useful when someone needs a steady, understanding space to talk things through. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related routines.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tina will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit each person’s situation. She adjusts plans over time based on what is helping and what feels doable in day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people juggling busy lives. Video calls let the therapist and client see one another and work through skills together. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for quick check-ins, step-by-step coaching, and brief support between longer appointments. These options make it easier to maintain momentum, practice new skills, and fit therapy into work and family routines.
