Tina Argueta, LPC

Tina Argueta is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with eight years of clinical experience. She is a mother and grandmother who brings a calm, straightforward presence to sessions. Tina aims to help people who are dealing with relationship strain, grief, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and identity concerns. She creates a nonjudgmental space for people to talk about what matters most to them.

Her style centers on listening first, then working with each person to find practical steps they can try between sessions. She uses a mix of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and client-centered methods. These tools support emotional coping, behavior change, and processing painful events.

Tina often helps clients facing parenting stress, caregiver strain, codependency, and challenges after separation or loss. She also addresses issues like ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, eating-related struggles, and compassion fatigue. Conversations focus on clear goals and manageable strategies that fit everyday life.

People meet Tina in a respectful, down-to-earth way. She encourages small experiments that build confidence over time. Her faith is personally important and may inform values-based conversations when relevant to a client.

Before beginning work with her, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling. The first step is a short questionnaire and a planned session time that fits the client’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It focuses on accepting tough feelings while still moving toward meaningful goals, which can help with anxiety, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns. This approach often helps with depression, anxiety, and problem-solving in daily life. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is an approach used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional charge by pairing focused attention with guided processing.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tina works with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Early sessions focus on listening, setting clear aims, and agreeing on small experiments to try between meetings so the plan can be adjusted as progress unfolds.

Confirm current session formats before booking, since options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it possible to continue steady work after a life change or during times when meeting in person is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work well across different settings, and the therapist will discuss which format best fits a person’s daily life and goals.
