About Tina
Tina Resneck is a licensed mental health counselor with 27 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and parenting challenges. She offers a steady, accepting presence for people facing identity questions, relationship strain, or major life changes. Tina works to make therapy practical and approachable for busy lives.
Tina keeps sessions focused on what matters most to the client. She listens first, then helps people identify small, doable steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Sessions often include emotion-focused conversation, mindfulness skills, and goal-oriented coaching to improve day-to-day functioning. Her background includes long experience supporting LGBT clients, survivors of abuse, and people coping with depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and addiction. She also helps with family-of-origin issues, blended family stress, adoption and foster care concerns, and caregiver strain.
She uses these experiences to tailor care to each person’s situation. Tina draws from several therapy styles to match a person’s needs. Client-centered work keeps the client’s voice central.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when relationship patterns and attachment needs are the main concern. For traumatic memories she may use EMDR techniques alongside mindfulness to reduce distress. Sessions are available in English and she sees clients in Washington as well as international clients.
Tina describes her role as collaborative – she partners with each person to set goals, try strategies, and track progress over time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead to help them clarify goals and feel understood. Online sessions use that same attitude, with the therapist guiding conversations and supporting whatever the client brings up.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and change unhelpful patterns in close relationships by working with emotion and attachment needs. In remote sessions this can include guided conversations and exercises that help identify feelings and try new ways of responding.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses disturbing memories and the reactions they cause through structured processing; elements of EMDR can be adapted for online work when appropriate.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past experiences, and preferences, then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the work progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing coaching between sessions. Together these options help people keep therapy consistent around busy schedules.
