Tina Pogorzala, LMHC

Tina Pogorzala is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship strain, and the challenges of parenting. Tina aims to create a respectful, caring space where people can start to sort out what matters most to them.

Tina has 17 years of clinical experience and draws on practical methods to help clients make real changes. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She also employs Solution-Focused strategies to set small, achievable goals and move forward quickly.

Sessions are collaborative and adapted to each person’s needs. Tina listens for the goals someone brings and then offers clear steps to practice between sessions. She can include mindfulness tools to help with grounding and managing emotion in the moment.

Tina has experience with a wide range of concerns beyond everyday anxiety and mood issues. These include grief, intimacy-related struggles, body image and eating concerns, sleep problems, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with attachment questions, adoption and foster care themes, blended family dynamics, and communication difficulties.

She offers therapy in English and provides several remote formats. If someone prefers faith-based support, Tina can include Christian perspectives when the client requests it. Her approach centers on practical steps, regular check-ins, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Practical approaches for online care

Many online sessions with Tina draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and practice different reactions to reduce distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep troubles, and managing ADHD-related worries.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify specific, manageable goals and steps that produce noticeable change quickly. This method is helpful when someone wants focused, short-term progress on a particular problem or decision.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and select techniques that fit. Plans are adjusted over time based on what works and what feels most useful for the client.

Online formats include video calls for full face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for quicker check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support and brief updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, caregiving, and travel while keeping momentum between sessions.
