Tina Smith, LPC

Tina Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She aims to make the first step toward change feel achievable and supported.

Tina creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what’s on their mind. She listens closely and helps clients name feelings and patterns that get in the way of day-to-day life. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth, with attention to what matters most to each person.

She often works with parenting and family concerns, including blended family issues, adoption and foster care, and caregiver stress. Attachment-related concerns and communication problems are also part of her focus. Tina uses straightforward tools to help people improve interactions and feel more confident in relationships.

Additionally, she supports people dealing with control issues, guilt and shame, grief around separation or divorce, and struggles with emptiness. She has experience with autism and Asperger Syndrome and can discuss how those traits affect daily functioning and relationships.

Tina uses client-centered methods alongside Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) principles to balance acceptance and practical change. She encourages collaboration so goals match each person’s life and values. If you want a supportive counselor who emphasizes clear steps and steady progress, Tina aims to help you move forward.

How her approach and online therapy work together

Tina uses client-centered therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) ideas in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s own goals, helping people feel heard and understood. DBT offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be useful for anxiety, mood, and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tina collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She will talk with clients about what feels useful and adjust techniques over time so work in therapy fits real life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to maintain momentum between sessions and practice skills in day-to-day situations. Licensed professionals can tailor session pacing and skill work to match how people live their lives.
