About Tina
Tina Bacigalupo is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings 18 years of experience to her work. She focuses on helping people untangle stress, anxiety, relationship worries, low self-esteem, career concerns, and the strain of life changes. Tina speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel calm and practical.
Her sessions begin by listening to the problem in plain language. She helps clients name what is happening and find small, clear steps to try.
Background and approach
Tina uses body-aware methods alongside talk therapy to help people notice how stress shows up in their bodies and respond differently. She draws on client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when practical skills and thought patterns need changing.
Mindfulness practices and motivational strategies are added when they suit the client’s pace and needs. Tina works with issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, grief around divorce and separation, and persistent feelings of emptiness or shame. She also supports people facing aging and geriatric questions, blended family concerns, and career transitions.
All sessions are offered from Michigan and are conducted in English. The practice offers several online formats so people can pick the way that fits their life. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled based on therapist availability.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Somatic-informed work encourages noticing sensations in the body and linking them to feelings. Online, clients learn simple grounding and movement practices they can use between sessions to reduce tension and feel more present.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy and listening. The therapist follows each person’s lead and helps them set goals, making it useful for people wanting a supportive, non-judgmental space to talk through decisions and changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with practical skills. In video or chat sessions, CBT is used to teach concrete tools for managing anxiety, stress, and low mood.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort with online formats. That shared decision-making shapes each session plan.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules, revisit notes or exercises between sessions, and maintain continuity even when life gets hectic. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and tools to work well over these formats.
