Tina Peck

Tina Peck is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Utah with nine years of experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges around relationships and grief. Tina also supports people facing career questions, life purpose concerns, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is practical and direct. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for managing emotions, reducing unhelpful thinking, and improving daily functioning. She also uses trauma-focused methods to address the aftereffects of traumatic events.

Tina has worked across a range of service settings and populations over her career, including experience with disability services, addiction treatment, inpatient and outpatient adolescent care, and supporting survivors of domestic violence. That background informs how she thinks about safety, coping skills, and relapse prevention.

Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings. Tina helps people identify patterns that get in the way and practices small behavioral experiments to test new ways of responding. She pays attention to how stress, chronic illness, and life changes affect mood and functioning.

People who feel stuck about what comes next often start by clarifying what matters most to them. Tina works with clients to set short-term goals, build coping strategies, and plan realistic next steps toward a clearer sense of direction.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing concrete techniques to change them. It can help with anxiety, depression, addiction-related patterns, and decision-making about work or life direction.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Those skills are useful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, relationship conflict, and navigating major life changes.

Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on addressing the effects of traumatic experiences and building strategies to reduce reactivity and avoidant coping. This approach is often used when past events continue to shape daily mood and behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans can mix approaches and change as a person experiments with different strategies.

Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking, since formats are not specified in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins during a workday or between appointments. Some formats need less bandwidth or camera use, which can help on days when a lighter visit is preferable. The practical goal is to make therapy manageable alongside everyday commitments.
