Tina Pogorzala

Tina Pogorzala is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 17 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, or life changes. Her manner is direct and compassionate, aimed at making the first steps feel manageable for a worried parent or adult seeking support.

Tina adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs. She offers practical tools to manage mood, anger, and attention challenges. When clients ask, she can include faith or Christian-based perspectives in sessions as part of the plan.

Her background includes long-term clinical experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. She blends these approaches to set clear, measurable goals and to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors in day-to-day life.

Tina also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach grounding and stress-management skills. For relationship concerns she uses elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and connection between partners.

People come to her for help with a wide range of issues: parenting stress, grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleep problems, caregiver strain, and adjustments after separation or loss. She can support those coping with autism and attachment-related challenges as part of broader treatment plans.

Her style is collaborative and practical. She focuses on short-term goals as well as longer-term coping strategies. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s intake steps to see if her approach fits their needs.

How her methods translate to online therapy

Tina often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, especially for anxiety, depression, and attention-related challenges. Solution-Focused Therapy is another frequent tool she uses to set practical, short-term goals and identify steps that produce quick improvements. Mindfulness Therapy is offered to teach breathing, grounding, and attention strategies that reduce stress and improve sleep.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tina discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts which methods are used over time. She works with clients to track progress and shift course when something isn’t meeting their needs.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and remove travel time from appointments. Many people find remote sessions help maintain momentum between in-person visits and day-to-day responsibilities. Talk with the clinician about what will work best for your situation and routine.
