About Tina
Tina Pogorzala is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, parenting strain, and mood concerns. She writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Her approach aims to make change feel practical and reachable. Tina brings 17 years of experience working with individuals and couples.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep difficulties going. She uses Solution-Focused techniques to set small, concrete goals and track progress over time.
She also incorporates mindfulness practices to help clients settle their attention and notice thoughts without getting swept away. Gottman Method ideas inform her work with relationship communication and rebuilding connection.
When clients want faith-informed work, she will integrate Christian perspectives upon request. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented.
Tina helps people break big problems into manageable steps and practices between meetings. She pays attention to cultural and life context, and she adapts the pace to each person’s needs.
Tina sees concerns across a wide range: grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, anger, body image, sleep and eating issues, career shifts, and coping with major life changes. People who want direct, practical tools and quieter moments of reflection may find her style a good fit.
To begin, she asks clients to share what matters most and what they hope to change. From there she builds a plan that balances skills practice, communication work, and real-life problem solving.
How online sessions use skills and connection
Tina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and daily stressors. She also draws on the Gottman Method to teach concrete communication skills and small rituals that rebuild connection in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tina collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, life situation, and preferences rather than imposing a single path. That means trying tools, checking in, and adjusting what’s used as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit varied schedules. Video is good for full conversations and practicing communication skills. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, and tracking homework between sessions. These options let people access care from different locations and at different times while keeping therapy practical and goal-focused.
