About Tina

Tina Beshers is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, and coping with life changes. Tina also supports people with mood disorders, ADHD, grief, and relationship or parenting challenges.

She has worked with a range of people, including veterans, older adults, young adults, teens, men, women, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Her background includes supporting clients managing burnout, substance use, and complex mood presentations such as bipolar disorder. Tina describes a practice that listens first and then uses practical methods to address problems.

Tina uses a mix of approaches in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness work help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Sessions focus on concrete skills and real-life application. Clients can expect to talk through current problems, try behavioral experiments, and practice coping strategies between sessions. The aim is to reduce the immediate weight of guilt or shame-related thoughts through actionable steps.

In addition to clinical work, Tina has experience with caregiving stress, chronic illness concerns, body image, and attachment issues. She invites people who are carrying guilt, shame, or complex histories to begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, guilt, and problems that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and change routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication skills.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods based on what feels most useful. Sessions are shaped around the client's needs, and techniques can be mixed to address shame, trauma histories, or habit patterns.

The therapist's original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a break, avoiding travel time, or choosing sessions that do not require video. Ask about the practical session options to pick what fits best with daily routines and communication preferences.
