About Tina
Tina Argueta is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who struggle with anger, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and issues related to LGBT identity. She is a mother and grandmother and brings that life experience into sessions in a straightforward, practical way.
She focuses on creating a calm setting where people can say what they think and feel without judgment. In sessions she listens for patterns that fuel repeated conflict - such as control issues, attachment worries, or avoidance - and then works with clients to try different ways of responding. Conversations are direct and aimed at changing what gets in the way of better relationships and clearer communication.
Tina uses a few different methods to address strong emotions and upsetting memories. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thought patterns. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people act on their values even when feelings are intense, and EMDR when trauma memories are a clear factor.
She assists people coping with addiction, depression, anxiety, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. Other concerns she sees include abandonment, codependency, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and eating or food-related worries.
People who meet with her can expect a practical focus on what to try between sessions. She often works on breathing and grounding skills, communication practice, and stepwise behavior changes. To start, she asks about current problems and what a realistic next step would look like for the client.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Tina commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal values; it helps when anger gets in the way of the life someone wants. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete steps to change patterns that lead to frequent outbursts.Choosing the right method is part of the early work. She will talk with each person about what feels most useful and try approaches that match their goals and comfort level. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow practicing skills in the setting where problems occur, which can make homework feel more relevant. Licensed professionals adapt pacing and tools to suit remote work, and conversations include practical exercises for handling anger between sessions.
