About Tina

Tina Pogorzala is a Florida LMHC with 17 years of counseling experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, parenting challenges, ADHD, depression, and related concerns.

Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. Tina often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify patterns and try practical changes. She also integrates Mindfulness techniques to slow down intense reactions and the Gottman Method when partners want to improve communication.

Tina offers faith-informed support on request. When a client asks for Christian-based guidance, she includes those values in sessions alongside other methods.

In sessions she helps clients notice what fuels their anger and frustration. Then she works with them to test small, doable strategies that reduce reactivity and improve how they handle conflict. She includes skill practice and brief homework to make change feel manageable.

People looking for help with grief, intimacy concerns, self-esteem, body image, caregiver stress, adoption and attachment matters, blended family issues, or coping with life changes can bring those topics into work with her. Tina also supports people managing sleep or eating struggles and career stress.

She bases plans on each person’s needs and practical goals. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.

How her approaches translate to online work

CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions use discussion and short exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and practice different responses, which can help with anger, anxiety, and mood problems. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clear, practical steps. Work centers on small, achievable goals and checking progress from session to session. That approach can be useful for people who want fast, concrete changes for stress, anger, or relationship problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These skills help when frustration builds or sleep and eating are affected. Choosing an approach is collaborative. Tina will help figure out which methods fit someone’s needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can change over time based on what helps most. Confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find that practicing skills between sessions helps transfer what they learn into everyday life.
