Tina Argueta, LPC

Tina Argueta is an Arizona Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She aims to help people who are struggling with grief, relationship strain, anxiety, depression, or questions about sexual intimacy. Tina presents as warm and straightforward, and she focuses on creating a nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly about painful or confusing feelings.

She draws from practical therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is among the approaches she uses for trauma work when appropriate. Sessions center on what matters most to each person and on small, doable steps toward change.

Tina has supported people through losses, trauma and abuse, family stress, addiction concerns, and challenges related to LGBT identity and relationships. She also works with clients coping with parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, and communication or commitment issues.

Her style is collaborative and grounded. She listens first, then offers tools that fit a person’s life and values. Many people find this approach useful when they need help managing emotions, repairing strained connections, or moving past painful memories.

Outside of work she identifies as a mother and Nana and brings those life roles into how she understands caregiving stress and family demands. Prospective clients in Arizona who want to begin can confirm current session options before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Tina uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most and take practical steps toward those values. ACT often involves noticing difficult thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to build a more meaningful life.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thinking patterns and teach skills for managing mood and anxiety. CBT sessions typically focus on concrete strategies like thought records and behavioral experiments. For trauma-related concerns, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) may be used to process painful memories in a paced, structured way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can evolve as therapy progresses so techniques are tailored over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people take part when stepping out of their day is simpler than coming into an office. Licensed professionals will discuss which approach and session arrangement will best support your goals.
