Tina Okenfuss, LPC

Tina Okenfuss is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and struggles with self-esteem. Tina also helps those facing major life changes such as divorce, grief, and shifts in identity.

Her style is warm and collaborative. Tina emphasizes genuine connection and meets people where they are. Sessions focus on practical steps that build resilience and improve how someone relates to themselves and others.

Tina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide treatment. That means she chooses methods shown to help with mood, anxiety, trauma, and coping during transitions. She aims to make interventions straightforward and usable in daily life.

She has particular experience supporting older adults and incorporates that perspective when relevant. This includes attention to caregiver stress, chronic illness, changes in role, and the emotional impacts of aging and geriatric issues.

Tina creates an affirming, nonjudgmental space that honors each person’s values and background. Work in sessions often includes developing coping skills, improving communication, and exploring self-worth. People who prefer practical, collaborative therapy tend to find her approach accessible and focused on real change.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

Tina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and real-life change. One common approach helps people learn concrete coping skills for anxiety, stress, and mood problems by practicing short exercises and tracking small wins. Another approach targets trauma and emotional wounds through structured conversations and gradual exposure to difficult memories in a paced way that reduces overwhelm.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Tina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they adjust methods over time so the work stays relevant and practical.

Many people find online therapy helpful for fitting sessions into a busy life, such as scheduling a mid-day appointment during a work break or keeping continuity during a move. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm current session options before booking to know whether video, phone, or other formats are available. The emphasis is on making therapy usable and consistent with day-to-day routines rather than promising a specific delivery method.
