Tina Pogorzala

Tina Pogorzala is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps people manage major life stresses and changes. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strains, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Tina aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can begin to sort through what feels overwhelming.

With 17 years of experience, she adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation. Tina combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to build practical steps and to shift unhelpful thinking. She also offers faith or Christian-based support when a client explicitly asks for it.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals and small, doable changes. She helps people identify patterns that keep problems going and then practices new ways of responding. Work often includes simple tools to manage anxiety, strategies for improving sleep and mood, and communication skills for strained relationships.

Tina also addresses tougher life events such as grief, divorce, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, and recovery from domestic violence. She brings attention to how attachment, abandonment, or blended family dynamics affect daily life and choices.

People who prefer short-term, goal-focused work or who want to include their faith in therapy may find her style helpful. Tina encourages a collaborative approach so clients feel involved in planning the next steps toward feeling steadier.

How her approaches shape online support

Tina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused, and it can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and stress-related habits.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals and to build on existing strengths. This approach is useful when someone wants focused work on specific problems or faster progress toward a particular outcome.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tina will discuss goals, preferences, and life demands to decide which methods to emphasize. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change.

Session logistics and formats are not detailed in the profile, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support continued work after major life changes by keeping momentum between in-person appointments or when travel would be difficult.
