About Tina
Tina Argueta is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona. She brings eight years of clinical experience and a warm, direct approach that aims to help people navigate major life changes and emotional pain. She emphasizes a nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly about what matters to them.
She often supports people coping with grief, trauma, and loss, as well as those facing anxiety, depression, and stress. Tina also addresses issues related to relationships, intimacy, and identity concerns for LGBT individuals. She names parenting, addiction, ADHD, and compassion fatigue among areas she addresses in sessions.
In the therapy room she listens first, then helps people set clear, practical goals. She uses conversations to identify patterns that cause pain and to try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings as well as on understanding core feelings and values.
Tina draws on several therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. She blends these methods to match each person’s needs rather than sticking to a single method.
Her work reflects her roles outside therapy as a parent and grandmother and her stated Christian faith, which can inform a person’s values and goals when relevant. People who want practical, steady support during hard transitions may find her style helpful.

How specific approaches guide online work
Tina uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT supports handling painful feelings while still moving toward meaningful goals.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and skills people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety or shift mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tina will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend which methods to try. That process is collaborative and can shift as needs change.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Many people appreciate being able to apply skills in real-time between sessions when therapy fits into everyday life.
