About Tina
Dr. Tina Lott offers straightforward, practical help for people facing family and parenting concerns. She writes and talks plainly in sessions so parents can use strategies at home.
Her style is direct but warm, focused on real changes that make daily life easier. She brings 11 years of clinical experience and holds the credentials LCPC and LMHC. She works from an evidence-informed perspective and draws on methods that target symptoms and behavior.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to reduce stress, improve relationships, and build coping skills for difficulties like anxiety, depression, grief, and struggles with intimacy or self-esteem. Dr. Lott has professional training through a doctorate in counselor education and supervision.
That background informs how she structures treatment and how she teaches therapeutic skills. She is also involved in efforts to reduce stigma around mental illness and addiction, and she uses that lens when talking about recovery and care. Practical tools are emphasized in sessions.
Parents can expect to leave with clear steps to try between meetings. She also discusses patterns such as codependency, control issues, and abandonment concerns so families can understand dynamics and change them. Away from work she balances family life, fitness, and creative hobbies.
Her approach combines clinical knowledge with everyday usability so parents can make steady progress without jargon.
Evidence-informed approaches for online family support
Brief descriptions of commonly used approaches include practical behavior-focused techniques that teach concrete skills for managing mood, stress, sleep, and daily routines. These methods help people change habits and reduce symptoms through step-by-step practice and problem-solving.Another common thread is trauma-informed care, which emphasizes safety, pacing, and understanding how past experiences affect current family patterns and relationships. This approach helps clients make sense of painful reactions and begin to try different responses in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That may involve trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options let families schedule around busy routines, access support from home, and use shorter check-ins when that is most helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and resources for each format so therapeutic work stays practical and usable.
