Tina Echterling, LPC, LMHC

Tina Echterling is a licensed counselor who practices in Indiana. She holds the LPC and the LMHC credentials and brings nine years of clinical experience to her work. Tina focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and concerns related to addiction and LGBT issues. She aims to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly about what matters to them.

Her approach is direct and practical. Tina tends to dive in with clients and work on concrete steps they can use between sessions. She uses methods that help people change unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills. Sessions often include talking through current problems, trying new strategies, and tracking progress over time.

Tina also addresses relationship tensions, family of origin issues, grief, and challenges like anger and low self-esteem. She lists additional focus areas including abandonment, blended family issues, and aging and geriatric issues. These topics are handled with attention to the person’s goals and circumstances rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Motivation and forward movement are common themes in her work. She uses collaborative techniques to help people find what matters to them and set realistic next steps. Tina encourages clients to notice small changes and build on those over weeks and months.

People who choose Tina can expect straightforward conversation and practical problem-solving. She invites anyone ready to begin to take the first step and complete the brief matching process to schedule sessions.

Approach-driven online care and practical skills

Tina commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and validating a person’s experience so they can decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches specific tools to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest which approaches might be most useful. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan if something isn’t helping.

Confirm current session options before booking, as this profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel time. It can also let someone continue work on stress, mood, or relationship issues from wherever they are in Indiana. Ask about available formats when you schedule so you can pick times and a rhythm that match your life.
