About Tina
Tina Pogorzala is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and life transitions. Tina aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where clients can talk through their concerns and explore practical next steps.
She uses straightforward, goal-oriented methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. These approaches emphasize identifying patterns that cause distress and testing small changes that bring relief. Mindfulness practices are also woven in when helpful to reduce reactivity and build present-moment coping skills.
Tina can work with individuals and with couples, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs and values. She is also open to integrating faith-based or Christian perspectives when a client asks for that option. Her practice includes attention to adoption and foster care concerns among other focus areas.
Over her career Tina has supported people facing grief, attachment questions, caregiver stress, and complex family dynamics such as blended family issues or separation. She also addresses concerns like ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, eating and sleeping problems, body image, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is practical and collaborative: she helps clients set clear goals, tries techniques together in-session, and adjusts plans based on what is working. Prospective clients should complete the site intake and a brief matching questionnaire to begin the process.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Many of Tina's methods adapt well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thoughts and habits that keep problems active, then trying small experiments to change them; it suits anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clear, short-term goals and practical steps you can use between sessions to build momentum. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve coping in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first, based on goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Sessions often begin with small, testable goals and then adjust as progress is seen.
The practical advantages of online care include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping momentum between visits. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, work around travel or work schedules, or use audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals aim to help clients apply techniques in their daily routines so therapy fits real life.
