Tina Pogorzala

Tina Pogorzala is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor who aims to help people manage anger, stress, and anxiety. She greets new clients with calm, direct conversation and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Tina keeps language simple and respectful to help people feel understood quickly.

With 17 years of experience as an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor), she uses everyday talk and clear tools rather than jargon. Sessions center on identifying unhelpful patterns and testing small changes that make daily life easier. She blends short-term problem solving with clearer thinking techniques to reduce reactivity and improve coping.

Tina draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to build plans that fit each person. She also offers mindfulness practices to help with moment-to-moment calm. When a client asks for it, faith or Christian-based perspectives can be included in sessions.

Her background emphasizes practical outcomes: better sleep, reduced anger outbursts, steadier moods, and improved communication. She works with common concerns such as relationships, parenting stress, ADHD, grief, and career strain. Tina aims to make therapy a usable part of everyday life rather than an extra burden.

People who choose her can expect straightforward guidance, goal-focused work, and choices about techniques. She encourages people to start small, notice what changes, and adjust plans as needed.

Approaches that translate to online work

Many elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are easy to use in remote sessions. CBT focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns, testing new responses, and practicing small behavior changes that reduce anger and anxiety. It often uses brief exercises and homework between sessions that fit well into weekly life.

The Gottman Method provides clear communication and conflict-management practices that can be taught and practiced during sessions. It helps people learn specific skills for conversations, repair attempts, and building steadier connections over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust them as progress is tracked.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use tools like worksheets, guided mindfulness, and skill practice between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises so work done in sessions carries over into everyday life.
