About Tina
Tina Owen is a clinical social worker licensed in Louisiana and Rhode Island. She holds a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Louisville and brings seven years of formal clinical experience alongside many earlier years in behavioral health roles.
Tina presents herself with a calm, down-to-earth manner and aims to make therapy approachable for adults seeking help with stress and emotional challenges. She focuses on trauma and grief work, often helping people process past abuse, sexual assault, or post-traumatic stress.
Background and approach
Tina also supports people navigating anxiety, social anxiety, ADHD, and identity-related concerns such as LGBT issues. She notes experience with autism, hoarding, isolation, and helping people rebuild self-worth. Tina’s style is relaxed and warm.
She uses humor and affirmation to help people feel heard and understood. Sessions are collaborative: goals are set together and adjusted as needed. She favors practical strategies alongside reflection to address daily stressors and longer-term patterns.
Her clinical approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Tina tailors these methods to each person’s needs rather than applying a single fixed model. She describes herself as neurodivergent affirming and an ally to LGBTQIA+ people.
People who often feel out of place or disconnected may find her approach fitting. Tina aims to create a respectful space where adults can talk through what matters and work toward the changes they want to make.
Using practical therapy approaches online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. It often involves short exercises and skill practice between sessions to help with stress, social anxiety, and ADHD-related challenges.Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes skill-building in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can help people who struggle with intense emotions, overwhelming stress, or repeated self-criticism by teaching concrete coping tools.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tina will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That might mean using CBT strategies for daily routines, DBT skills for managing big emotions, or mixing in solution-focused steps for immediate concerns.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a caller prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging can be used for brief check-ins, short coaching-style conversations, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different life rhythms.
