About Tina

Tina Pogorzala is a Florida LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 17 years of experience. She helps adults manage stress, anxiety, parenting strain, anger, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, and intimacy-related issues.

Tina focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns, test small changes, and track what works. She can include faith or Christian-informed perspectives if a client asks for that approach.

Sessions tend to look like clear goals, short-term experiments, and regular check-ins. She uses tools to reduce overwhelm, improve communication, and build better daily routines. When anger or intense emotion shows up, she helps people name it and choose a response that fits their values.

She also supports adults dealing with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, blended family stress, caregiver strain, and challenges around body image, sleep, or eating. Other focus areas listed include coping with loss, career shifts, and burnout or compassion fatigue.

Tina aims for practical, usable steps rather than long lists of theory. She listens to what is most pressing and helps people make manageable changes one at a time.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Tina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors in everyday life. CBT focuses on small experiments and practical skills for anxiety, mood, sleep, and ADHD-related struggles. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build moment-to-moment awareness and calm, often through brief breathing or attention practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tina will discuss options and tailor the mix of methods to a person's goals, priorities, and what feels comfortable. The first sessions are used to agree on targets and plan short, practical steps to try between meetings.

Confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the profile does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks. They also let people try short coaching-style meetings or regular therapy sessions without rearranging a full day. Talk with Tina during the initial intake to pick a session rhythm and format that suits your schedule and attention style.
