Tina Argueta

Tina Argueta is an Arizona Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She is a mother and nana who brings a personal, down-to-earth presence to sessions. Tina focuses on helping people who are dealing with grief, trauma, relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, and identity concerns related to LGBTQ+ issues.

She aims to create an open space where people can speak honestly about their thoughts and feelings without judgment. In sessions she listens closely and helps clients name what matters most to them. The work often starts with practical steps to reduce stress and build everyday coping skills.

Tina draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and client-centered methods to guide conversations. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when appropriate. These tools are offered in service of clear goals like managing mood, improving communication, or processing past trauma.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She helps people set achievable goals and tries to keep sessions focused on what will make life feel more manageable. Tina emphasizes small, steady changes rather than quick fixes.

People who value a warm, nonjudgmental listener and practical problem solving may find her approach helpful. If you want to explore grief, trauma recovery, relationship concerns, or managing anxiety and stress, Tina can help you plan the next steps.

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Tina uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and change behaviors that keep them stuck. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress because it focuses on practical exercises and small behavior changes.

She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify their values and take action toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings remain. ACT can be helpful for coping with grief, identity concerns, and long-term stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process; Tina works together with each person to decide what methods fit best. She will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past, then tailor sessions to those needs in a collaborative way.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let a person meet with a licensed professional from their home state and maintain continuity of care during life transitions.
