About Tina

Tina Argueta is an Arizona licensed professional counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience who focuses on guiding people through relationship struggles, trauma, grief, mood concerns, and addiction-related challenges.

Background and approach

She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult feelings and chart practical steps toward greater balance and well-being. Tina combines compassionate listening with evidence-informed techniques to help clients build coping skills and clarify values.

Her work often addresses anxiety, depression, intimacy and communication problems, caregiver stress, and complex responses to loss or life transitions. Tina also works with issues such as ADHD, codependency, attachment and abandonment concerns, eating-related difficulties, and compassion fatigue.

She draws from a range of approaches including cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment methods, client-centered care, dialectical behavior skills, and EMDR when appropriate to the client’s needs. Tina describes therapy as a collaborative process in which courage to change is met with support and practical tools.

She offers services in English from her Arizona practice and helps clients identify goals and strategies suited to their circumstances, pacing the work according to each person’s readiness and preferences.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build practical coping strategies. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them, practice mindful acceptance of difficult emotions, and commit to values-driven action for improved quality of life. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and a collaborative relationship that supports self-exploration and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tina works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the mix of skill-building, acceptance work, or relational exploration as progress unfolds.

Online options include video sessions, phone meetings, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, access care from different locations within Arizona, and maintain continuity between sessions. These formats support flexibility in communication style and scheduling while allowing licensed professionals to provide ongoing guidance and skill practice.
