About Tina
Tina Argueta is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage grief, trauma, addiction, and relationship struggles. She speaks plainly and listens first, aiming to make conversations feel calm and practical for someone who is worried or overwhelmed. She creates a straightforward space where clients can say what they think and feel without pressure.
Sessions often start by naming the most urgent concerns and setting a small, achievable goal for the next meeting.
Background and approach
Tina encourages steady steps rather than big leaps so progress feels doable. Her work draws on Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems they face, and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take workable action. She also uses client-centered listening and elements from cognitive-behavioral and dialectical approaches when those fit the situation.
With eight years of experience as an LPC in Arizona, she has helped people with anxiety, depression, parenting stress, identity questions, and coping after loss. She combines practical tools with space to tell your story, so emotional work links to everyday life. Tina describes herself as a mother and Nana and brings a warm, respectful manner into sessions.
She works in English and offers multiple online formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and comfort level.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Tina directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and acceptance approaches work online
Many clients find Narrative Therapy useful because it helps separate a person from the problem. In practice that means talking about the story a person tells about their life and noticing other possible plots. This can help with identity questions, feeling stuck, and relationship patterns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small actions toward those values. It teaches simple skills for noticing difficult thoughts and moving forward despite them. Client-centered work means the therapist listens without judgment and follows the client's pace while offering support and reflection.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time. Clients help decide whether Narrative, ACT, or more behavioral tools are the best fit for their needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make counseling more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets someone check in quickly, and text messaging supports brief updates between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving schedules while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
