About Tina
Tina Curran-Taylor is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor (LPMHC) with 20 years of professional experience. She practices in Virginia and offers work for people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes.
Tina helps people talk through what is worrying them. She draws on straightforward talking therapies and practical techniques. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on steps people can try between meetings.
Her approach is collaborative. She listens for how guilt, shame, family history, and faith may shape what someone thinks about themselves. She also addresses problems such as communication struggles, control issues, and difficulty forgiving oneself.
Tina uses Client-Centered Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, and she incorporates trauma-focused work when needed. That combination is used to address mood problems, panic, post-traumatic stress, and substance-related concerns.
People who come to her can expect clear conversation about goals and concrete options to try. She emphasizes small, manageable steps and practical coping skills. The aim is to help someone make changes that fit their life and values.
To begin, a person completes a short questionnaire and schedules a first session so goals can be set and a plan agreed on together.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what someone says. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist respond in a way that helps a person clarify feelings about guilt, shame, or loss. It is useful for exploring personal values and immediate concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and then tries small experiments to change them. Online CBT can include short exercises, homework between sessions, and checking progress week to week. This method is often used for anxiety, panic, low mood, and some trauma symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means agreeing on what to try first and reviewing how things are going as sessions continue.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Ask about the available ways to meet and which will suit your schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in on a phone can work during a break, or a video meeting can allow a deeper conversation without travel. Licensed professionals use these options to help people work through guilt, shame, addiction, and stress while balancing everyday demands.
