About Tina
Tina Bacigalupo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 18 years of experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, and life changes. Tina also addresses concerns such as abandonment, codependency, forgiveness, and guilt and shame.
Tina prefers a straightforward, client-centered way of working. She listens to what is happening now and helps people name the obstacles that keep them stuck. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer thinking, not on jargon.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns of thought and behavior that feed distress. She uses mindfulness tools to help people notice reactions without getting swept away. Narrative methods help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and consider other perspectives.
She also uses motivational interviewing to support small changes and to build momentum. Sessions often include brief experiments or homework to practice new responses between meetings. That keeps progress grounded in everyday life.
Tina works in a way that aims to make emotional concerns easier to understand and manage. She helps people untangle relationship problems, recover from infidelity or separation, and work through feelings of emptiness or isolation. For anyone carrying guilt or shame, she offers steady, practical help to look at those feelings and the choices around them.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the clients lead to decide what matters most. This approach is useful when someone feels overwhelmed by emotions or unsure which problem to tackle first.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns that keep stress and anxiety going. Online CBT sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them with small experiments, and practicing alternative reactions between meetings. That can be helpful for guilt-related thinking and for changing repetitive behaviors.
Tina will work with the client to choose the right mix of methods. Finding the best approach is a collaborative process based on the clients goals, needs, and comfort. She will revisit methods as progress and priorities change.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life without changing what the work itself involves.
