Tina Curran-Taylor

Tina Curran-Taylor is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor (LPMHC) with 20 years of professional experience. She is licensed in North Carolina, Delaware, and practices in Virginia. She lists stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes among the concerns she addresses.

Tina favors a collaborative way of working. She asks questions, listens, and helps people put words to what they are feeling. Sessions focus on practical steps and thought patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. She also uses approaches aimed at trauma and motivation when those fit the concern.

Clients who are managing addiction or substance use can expect a focus on motivation and practical strategies. For people dealing with trauma, Tina uses trauma-focused methods alongside counseling to address symptoms and coping. For anxiety and mood difficulties she uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to look at thoughts, behaviors, and small experiments to test new ways of responding.

Tina notes life purpose as one of her focus areas and will talk with clients about meaning, direction, and how life changes affect plans and identity. She also works on issues like communication problems, abandonment, guilt and shame, and family of origin concerns when those come up in sessions.

Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site process to match and schedule a first visit.

How her approaches translate to online work

Tina uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s own perspective and goals. That means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to explore what matters and which changes feel doable. Client-centered work helps when someone is unsure of priorities or wants help sorting feelings.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which targets the thoughts and actions that keep problems going. CBT breaks issues into small steps, tests new behaviors, and builds practical skills for anxiety, mood, and panic symptoms. Motivational Interviewing is used when change feels difficult; it helps people weigh options and find personal reasons to try new approaches.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tina will discuss what fits best based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adapt methods as progress is reviewed. The process is collaborative and practical.

The biography did not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Ask about format length and structure when you schedule your first session to match what will work in your routine.
