About Tina
Dr. Tina Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado. She brings six years of counseling experience and focuses on parenting, relationships, anxiety, stress, and related life changes.
Her work is direct and practical, aimed at helping people find clearer ways forward when things feel overwhelming. She blends client-centered care with cognitive-behavioral tools to address patterns that keep people stuck. Sessions often include concrete strategies to manage worry, improve communication, and rebuild trust.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques are used to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. Dr. Smith has worked in a range of settings, including clinical and correctional environments, and with people facing complex concerns such as trauma, addictions, and grief.
That background informs a steady, nonjudgmental approach when difficult topics arise. She also has experience with issues related to gender identity and LGBT concerns. Couples work draws on elements of the Gottman Method and emotionally-focused ideas to strengthen connection and handle conflict.
For parents, sessions can focus on coping skills, setting limits, and repairing strained relationships without assigning blame. Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. She helps people identify small, manageable steps they can try between sessions.
Dr. Smith welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English using video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting and relationship work
Dr. Smith often draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening, validation, and helping people identify their own goals. It is useful when someone needs support sorting through feelings or finding clearer priorities. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical tools to reduce anxiety, shift unhelpful thinking, and change behaviors that cause stress.She also uses emotionally-focused ideas when working on relationship and intimacy concerns. These techniques aim to uncover underlying emotional needs and help partners respond to each other with more understanding. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss options and adjust methods based on each person's goals, history, and what feels most useful in sessions.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues during conversations. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter, audio-only check-in fits a schedule. Live chat and messaging are helpful for short check-ins, brief coping strategies, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy family and work lives.
