About Tina
Tina LaPorta is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship challenges. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what is most pressing for each person. Tina draws on many years of clinical work to help people make concrete changes and feel steadier in daily life.
Tina uses simple tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to identify unhelpful thoughts and adjust behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses client-centered ideas to build a respectful space where people can talk honestly about grief, addiction, parenting strain, or identity concerns. When helpful, she brings in psychodynamic perspectives to look at patterns that repeat across relationships.
Her background includes work in community mental health settings, outpatient treatment, intensive outpatient programs, and partial hospitalization. Tina has supported people with long-term and complex concerns, including serious mental health and substance use challenges, as well as veterans and active duty service members in military settings.
Tina holds two master’s degrees in psychology - one focused on college teaching and the other in counseling with a marriage and family therapy focus. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist, LMFT, with licenses that have included Florida and Arizona. Her practice emphasizes practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
People who come to Tina can expect a collaborative working style. Sessions typically focus on clear goals, workable skills for day-to-day life, and attention to relationship or family patterns that affect mood and coping. She invites questions and aims to make the process understandable and manageable.
