Tina Beshers, LMHC, LCMHC

Tina Beshers is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who draws on practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and mood struggles. She brings 15 years of clinical experience and aims to create an affirming space where clients feel heard and understood before they make changes.

Tina works with people from many backgrounds, including members of the LGBT community, veterans, older adults, young adults, and teens. She helps people manage symptoms of depression, bipolar disorder, trauma histories, and substance use, and she supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and burnout.

Her day-to-day style focuses on clear tools and steady support. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and a client-centered stance so people can practice new skills between sessions. Conversations are aimed at what feels most useful to the person in front of her, not at jargon or tests.

Tina emphasizes real-world strategies such as recognizing unhelpful patterns, building emotion regulation skills, and identifying values to guide change. She also addresses practical problems like sleep, eating concerns, and coping with chronic illness or caregiving stress.

If someone is unsure where to begin, she guides them through a simple process that clarifies goals and priorities. Her goal is to help people make steady progress at a pace that fits their life and responsibilities.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when stress, addiction triggers, or life changes get in the way of what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches practical skills to change patterns that maintain anxiety, depression, or unhealthy coping. It often includes homework exercises to practice new ways of thinking and behaving.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be useful for managing strong emotions, impulsive behavior, and relationship friction.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That conversation helps shape session focus and the skills prioritized for practice.

Because specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins or evening appointments when needed. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and exercises so therapeutic work can move forward despite a hectic life.
