About Tina
Tina Bacigalupo is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 18 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, self-esteem struggles, career concerns, and transitions in life.
Background and approach
Tina draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, while also integrating client-centered listening and mindfulness practices to support insight and emotional regulation.
Her work often addresses themes such as abandonment, blended family dynamics, communication problems, codependency, and issues tied to divorce or separation, along with feelings of emptiness, guilt, shame, or isolation. Tina aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore barriers and try new ways of coping.
She uses motivational interviewing and narrative approaches when helpful to clarify values, strengthen motivation, and reframe personal stories. Clients looking for a collaborative, practical approach to change can expect a therapist who combines evidence-informed strategies with empathic support.
Tina invites prospective clients to consider counseling as a tool for growth and to take steps toward clearer goals and more satisfying daily living.
How Tina’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Many clients benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy because it focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; online sessions can include practical exercises and skill-building tailored to daily life challenges. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to feel heard and to explore their priorities during video or phone sessions. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and grounding practices that can be taught and practiced in real time through calls or messaging to help manage stress and emotional reactivity.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tina collaborates with clients to determine which combination of methods best matches their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adapting techniques as progress unfolds so the plan stays practical and client-focused.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across different days and routines while allowing therapists and clients to focus on concrete strategies, emotional processing, and goal setting in ways that fit each person’s life.
