01About Tina
Dr. Tina Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Colorado. She brings six years of counseling experience and a calm, direct approach to sessions.
She focuses on practical strategies that help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Her work combines client-centered conversation with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means sessions start with the individual's goals and experience, then use clear, skills-based steps to change unhelpful patterns.
She also draws on emotion-focused ideas when relationships and attachment issues are central concerns.
Background and approach
Dr. Smith has experience addressing a wide range of concerns, including depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, and career stress. She also supports people facing caregiving strain, chronic illness, blended family challenges, and communication problems.
She works with people navigating gender dysphoria and LGBTQ matters as part of affirming care. She uses tools from the Gottman Method when couples want to improve communication and rebuild trust, and she integrates mindfulness to help with emotional regulation and stress reduction. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with practical homework when helpful.
Dr. Smith has practiced in both online and face-to-face settings and emphasizes meeting people where they are. People who choose her can expect straightforward guidance, consistent follow-up, and a focus on building skills that fit everyday life.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Dr. Smith commonly combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people make concrete changes. Client-centered work focuses on listening, understanding the person's goals, and building a trusting working relationship. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns.She also uses elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship and attachment issues are important. EFT helps partners and individuals name emotional responses and create new ways of connecting and responding that reduce conflict and increase closeness.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what is most helpful. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to prioritize and how fast to move forward.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can support brief check-ins, homework review, or more frequent contact between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit counseling into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
