About Tina
Tina Pogorzala meets people where they are and helps them find practical ways forward. She is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 17 years of experience. Tina focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, and depression.

Background and approach
Her approach is direct and down-to-earth, with a mix of skill-building and problem-solving. She also provides faith or Christian-informed support when a client specifically asks for that focus. Tina uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new actions.
She blends that with Solution-Focused work to identify what’s already working and build on it. Mindfulness techniques are used to teach basic attention and breathing skills for managing stress and strong feelings. People looking for help with eating or sleeping concerns, career choices, compassion fatigue, parenting stress, attachment or adoption-related issues can expect a practical plan.
Tina also addresses topics such as body image, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and coping with life changes. She keeps language simple and gives homework that fits into busy lives. Tina offers several ways to connect so therapy can fit different schedules.
She aims to create a respectful, sensitive space and works collaboratively to track progress and adjust the plan as needed.
Approaches that translate to online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and managing ADHD-related patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on what is already working and sets small, concrete goals to build momentum; it is useful for stress, life transitions, and practical problem solving.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's situation. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust techniques over time if something isn't helping.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options aim to increase scheduling flexibility and make consistent progress more feasible.
