Tina Argueta, LPC

Tina Argueta is a licensed professional counselor in Arizona with eight years of experience. She welcomes conversations about difficult feelings and everyday thoughts. Tina frames therapy as a practical place to talk, reflect, and try small changes that add up over time.

She aims to make sessions direct and honest. Tina helps people sort through grief, trauma, relationship strain, addictive patterns, anxiety, depression, and stress. She also works with concerns such as parenting strain, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and self-esteem challenges.

Tina uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns, and from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-driven action. She also brings elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when those methods fit the work.

In sessions she focuses on listening first and then on practical steps. That might mean learning simple skills to manage strong emotions, trying different responses in relationships, or creating routines that support better daily habits and clearer thinking.

Tina describes therapy as a collaborative process. She encourages people to move at a pace that feels manageable while working toward more stable routines, healthier relationships, and clearer thinking about what matters most.

How approaches like ACT and CBT work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small value-driven steps. It helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and teaches practical skills to shift patterns that cause distress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to reduce the intensity of painful memories by processing them in a structured way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tina will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with skill-building from CBT, adding mindfulness and values work from ACT, or bringing in EMDR elements when past trauma is a central concern.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time or allowing shorter check-ins on a work break. It can also help people maintain continuity of care when routines change. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
