Tina Curran-Taylor, LCMHC, LPMHC

Tina Curran-Taylor is a licensed counselor with 20 years of clinical experience. She holds LCMHC and LPMHC credentials and practices in Virginia. Tina focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and depression.

She aims for a collaborative space where clients can speak openly about thoughts and feelings. Tina emphasizes a nonjudgmental tone and works alongside people as they consider change. Taking the first step can feel risky, and she acknowledges that courage is part of starting therapy.

In sessions she draws on straightforward methods to address patterns that keep people stuck. She uses Client-Centered ideas to follow a client's priorities and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is also part of her way of helping people consider change around substance use and habits.

Tina has long experience supporting people through life transitions and relationship strains rooted in family of origin issues. She also works with concerns like panic, mood shifts, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. Her practice includes work related to veteran and armed forces issues.

People meet her for help with drug and alcohol addiction, coping skills for panic attacks, and recovery after trauma. She invites clients to describe what matters most and then builds clear, practical steps to move forward.

How Tina’s approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy places the client's concerns at the center of the work. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what matters, and helps clarify priorities to set goals. This approach helps when people want to be heard and understood before making changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new skills to change reactions. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and some addiction-related behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tina will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs and preferences. That means trying techniques and adjusting them based on how a client responds and what feels useful.

Because the therapist's listed session formats are not detailed in the biography, confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also can let people continue care while they manage work, family, or other responsibilities.
