Background and approach
Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on what matters most right now. Her work draws on several established approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered for emotion regulation and managing intense reactions. She also uses client-centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in each person’s priorities. Tina has supported people through grief, parenting strain, career shifts, and complex trauma.
She brings steady experience to issues such as ADHD, chronic illness, body image, and attachment concerns. Her practice is aimed at helping people build better daily routines and stronger relationships. Sessions are offered in English and Armenian, and she accepts international clients.
Practical tools, clear steps, and steady encouragement are central to her approach. Prospective clients are invited to take a short matching questionnaire to begin the process.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and priorities. It involves active listening, open questions, and building on strengths to help people feel heard and clearer about their next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That plan is revisited as progress is made so techniques can be adjusted to fit what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates, ask brief questions between sessions, and use shorter check-ins during a busy week. These options make it easier to keep a regular schedule and practice new skills in everyday settings.
