About Tina
Dr. Tina Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who blends relationship-focused methods with practical skills work. She draws on the Gottman Method along with client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches to help people navigate stress, relationships, and life transitions.
She frames counseling as a team effort. Sessions focus on clear goals and everyday strategies people can try between meetings. Tina emphasizes building a respectful working relationship as the engine for change, then uses talk and exercises to shift patterns that cause pain or conflict.
Background and approach
Her background includes six years in mental health settings, including work with adults in clinical and correctional environments. That experience informs a steady, direct style when addressing issues such as trauma, addiction, mood disorders, and coping with chronic illness. She has worked with people from many cultural and identity backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ communities and BIPOC clients.
Tina also has experience providing both online and in-person counseling. She uses a strengths-based approach that meets people where they are and adapts methods to fit each person’s needs. Practical problem solving is paired with attention to emotions and relationship patterns.
People often seek her help for relationship struggles, parenting stress, burnout, ADHD, grief, and intimacy concerns. Sessions typically mix short-term tools and longer-term work to improve communication, reduce symptoms, and rebuild trust and self-worth.

Online support
How relationship work and skills-based therapy translate online
Dr. Smith blends Gottman-informed work with client-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques. The Gottman-informed work focuses on improving communication patterns between partners, reducing criticism and defensiveness, and rebuilding trust. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration to make clients feel heard and supported. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thinking and practice new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.Tina treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She talks with clients about goals and preferences, then adapts methods to fit their situation. Together they decide whether more emotionally focused work, skills practice, or a mix will best address relationship strain, mood symptoms, or life changes.
Online therapy offers practical benefits that match her flexible style. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises with partners. Phone sessions work well for quick check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messages are useful for brief reflections, homework check-ins, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep progress moving forward.
