Tina Okenfuss is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and low self-esteem. She supports clients through difficult life changes such as divorce, grief, and shifts in identity. Tina emphasizes a compassionate, human approach and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable.

She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build coping skills and strengthen resilience.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens for what matters most and adapts each session to the person's goals and life context. People can expect a nonjudgmental tone and attention to values and personal strengths.

Tina also brings experience with a wide range of concerns beyond core mood and anxiety issues. These include attachment challenges, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness, adoption and foster care questions, and issues related to alternative sexual cultures. She considers how these topics connect to daily functioning and relationships.

Starting therapy is framed as a practical process rather than a single event. Tina guides clients through small, achievable steps and supports them as they try new approaches. She aims to help people regain a clearer sense of purpose and more reliable coping tools.

How Tina Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online

Tina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on mood and anxiety concerns. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different, more balanced ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety or depression. This helps people learn practical skills they can use between sessions.

Another frequent focus is building coping strategies and emotional regulation skills for stress and trauma-related reactions. These techniques teach pacing, grounding, and step-by-step ways to handle overwhelming feelings so daily life becomes easier to manage.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Tina works collaboratively to figure it out. She will check in about goals, preferences, and how techniques are landing, and then adapt the plan as needed. That collaboration helps match methods to what actually helps a person in their life.

The practical benefit of online therapy is that it can fit more easily into a busy schedule and reduce travel time.
