About Tina
Tina Pogorzala is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, parenting strains, grief, and related life changes. Tina also addresses issues like intimacy struggles, body image, sleep and eating problems, and caregiver stress.
She meets people where they are and focuses on practical changes that reduce daily friction. Sessions involve clear discussion, short-term goal setting, and skills practice to manage reactions and improve communication. Tina uses strategies aimed at changing thought patterns and behavior in everyday moments.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Solution-Focused methods. That means clients learn to spot unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try small experiments between sessions. The Gottman Method is used for relationship work and offers concrete tools for improving connection and resolving conflict.
Mindfulness practices are introduced in simple steps to help lower reactivity and increase awareness of triggers. Tina can include faith or Christian-informed perspectives when a client explicitly requests that orientation.
She frames therapy as collaborative work rather than quick fixes. Early sessions focus on what matters most now and what small changes could make daily life easier. Clients who want to book start by completing a brief questionnaire and scheduling their first session.
How sessions work
How Tina’s approaches translate to online work
Many of her core methods translate clearly to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; online sessions are used to teach these steps and to plan practical experiments between meetings. The Gottman Method provides structured communication exercises and conflict tools that can be reviewed, practiced, and debriefed during video or phone meetings. Mindfulness Therapy introduces short attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness, which can be practiced in daily life and checked in on in session.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That conversation guides whether sessions emphasize skill practice, relationship tools, or short, solution-focused tasks.
The practical benefit of remote sessions is that they can fit more easily into busy routines and reduce commute time. Remote meetings also allow for brief check-ins when a shorter touchpoint is helpful, or for sitting down together for role-plays and communication practice without needing to travel. Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered and how they would fit into your schedule.
