Tina Curran-Taylor, LCMHC, LPMHC

Tina Curran-Taylor is a licensed counselor with LCMHC and LPMHC credentials and two decades of clinical experience. She practices in Virginia and has worked helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and depression. Tina aims to make the first steps toward change feel less overwhelming and more doable for each person who reaches out.

Her style is collaborative and direct. She creates space for people to talk about hard feelings without judgment. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, along with time to process emotions and setbacks.

Tina draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen deeply and follow the client's lead. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel stuck or ambivalent about change.

She also incorporates Trauma-Focused Therapy when past harm affects daily life and relationships. Tina pairs these approaches with attention to patterns that come from family of origin issues, abandonment, guilt and shame, and control problems. She supports people working through substance use, mood problems, panic, and post-traumatic stress.

Practical concerns are part of the work. Sessions often address communication problems, life purpose, and rebuilding self-love after painful experiences. Tina encourages measurable goals and regular check-ins so progress and setbacks can be reviewed and adjusted together.

How Tina’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Tina uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a listening space where clients set the pace and the topics. This approach helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small, practical behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Tina will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use quieter surroundings, manage bandwidth needs, or avoid being on camera while still doing meaningful therapeutic work.
