About Tina
Dr. Tina Lott welcomes people who are dealing with anger, stress, or relationship struggles. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what is happening now.
Her style aims to make strong feelings easier to talk about and manage in daily life. Dr. Lott is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor.
She earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in addiction, a master’s degree in counseling, and a doctorate in counselor education and supervision.
Background and approach
She combines practical tools with years of teaching and clinical experience. She has 11 years of experience working with people facing addictions, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around self-esteem. She also addresses concerns like codependency, control issues, abandonment, and challenges with intimacy and parenting.
In sessions she focuses on clear, teachable strategies that people can use between meetings. That might include ways to calm intense emotions, set safer boundaries, and shift patterns that feed anger or anxiety. She explains skills in simple steps and checks in about how they work in real life.
Outside clinical work she teaches at the graduate level and conducts research on stigma linked to mental health and addiction. She brings that perspective to therapy by paying attention to how shame and social messages affect recovery. Her approach centers on respect, practical change, and helping people reconnect with self-love and steady routines.

Everything Tina lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Tina's practice.
Approaches that help with strong emotions online
Dr. Lott uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on teaching skills and changing unhelpful patterns. One common approach teaches emotion regulation and coping skills so people can notice triggers, slow reactions, and choose different responses; this can help with anger, anxiety, and mood swings. Another approach looks at relationship patterns and boundaries to reduce conflict and improve connection by practicing clear communication and setting limits.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their situation. If a strategy isn’t helping, she will adapt the plan and try different tools until something feels useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls are good for deeper conversations and teaching skills visually. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier during a break from work. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter check-ins when that suits their day. These options make therapy easier to fit into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
