About Tina
Tina Pogorzala is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, mood concerns, and parenting challenges. She practices in Florida and brings 17 years of clinical experience to sessions. Tina aims to make the first steps toward help feel doable and respectful.
Her approach blends straightforward skills training with short-term problem solving. Tina often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She pairs that with Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear goals and track small, practical steps forward.
Sessions are conversational and goal oriented. Clients work on skills for managing intense feelings, improving communication, and building routines for better sleep and eating. Tina also supports people dealing with grief, career stress, caregiver strain, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.
She pays attention to attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and blended family dynamics when those topics come up. Tina also has experience helping people facing body image struggles, cancer-related stress, and neurodiversity matters such as autism and Asperger Syndrome.
Tina tailors her work to each person and will include faith-based perspectives when explicitly requested by a client. Her style is practical, warm, and direct, focused on concrete changes that fit everyday life.

How key approaches shape online work
Online sessions can use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that feed anxiety or low mood. CBT sessions tend to include homework tasks, short skills practice, and clear steps to test new ways of coping.The Gottman Method focuses on communication and conflict patterns for people in relationships. Online conversations often include exercises to improve listening, express needs more clearly, and rebuild trust through small behavioral changes.
Tina treats finding the right approach as a joint process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then pick methods that fit those aims. That collaborative planning helps make online work feel practical and relevant from the start.
Confirm session formats before booking so you know what is offered for online care. Many people find that scheduled remote sessions make it easier to fit work on communication skills, emotional regulation, and routine-building into busy lives. Remote meetings can also allow shorter check-ins, steady weekly work, or focused skill practice without extra travel time.
