Tina Pogorzala , LMHC

Tina Pogorzala is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 17 years of professional counseling experience. She works with individuals, couples, and families to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, ADHD, relationship challenges, anger management, and depression. Tina emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work and tailors conversation and treatment plans to each person's unique needs.

Tina often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients identify patterns, develop practical coping strategies, and move toward concrete goals. When a client explicitly requests it, she can incorporate faith- or Christian-based perspectives into the therapeutic process. Taking the first step toward counseling can be difficult, and Tina seeks to honor that courage while providing clear, individualized support to help clients progress at their own pace.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Tina uses evidence-oriented methods that translate well to remote formats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns and helps clients build practical coping skills.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on immediate goals and strengths, encouraging short-term, actionable steps to resolve current problems and make measurable progress. The Gottman Method is used when relationship work is a priority - it offers structured tools to improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen connection between partners.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tina collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to access licensed professionals from different settings and schedules. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, try different session formats, and integrate therapy into daily life.
