About Tina
Tina Pogorzala is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, depression, and parenting challenges. She offers practical support for attention concerns like ADHD, problems with sleep or eating, self-esteem struggles, and life changes that feel overwhelming. Tina works with individuals and couples to address the immediate problems people bring to therapy.
With 17 years of clinical experience and a Florida LMHC credential, she blends straightforward talk with skill-building exercises. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. She also uses Solution-Focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals and highlight small steps that lead to progress.
Tina includes relational work influenced by the Gottman Method when couples need help with communication and conflict patterns. She brings mindfulness practices into sessions to help people calm racing thoughts and build steadier responses to stress. She can also incorporate faith-informed conversations when a client asks for Christian-based support.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. Sessions focus on real-life strategies clients can use between meetings, such as new communication habits, behavioral experiments, and brief mindfulness exercises. She emphasizes what clients can try right away to feel a bit better.
People often seek her help for grief, caregiver stress, blended family issues, attachment questions, coping after disasters, and challenges around intimacy and abandonment. Her background supports work around trauma-related stressors without promising specific outcomes.
How her approaches translate to online work
Tina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT sessions often include concrete exercises and practice assignments that people can use between meetings to reduce anxiety or improve mood.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, doable goals and track progress. This approach keeps sessions focused on steps that make daily life easier, such as improving communication or creating a sleep routine.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tina will help clients decide which methods fit their needs and goals and adjust plans as progress is made. That decision is collaborative and revisited over time.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, offer quicker check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. They can also allow shorter or more frequent meetings when that supports steady progress.
