About Tina
Tina Mergerson is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Texas with three years of professional experience. She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. Tina also addresses compassion fatigue and the emotional strain that comes with caregiving roles.
Her approach is warm and respectful. She listens first, then tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs. Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful, with steps you can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Tina combines several ways of working to match what helps most. She uses client-centered methods to keep the work focused on your goals. Cognitive behavioral ideas help identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes.
Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce overwhelm and ground attention. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and motivational interviewing strategies are used when clients need tools for emotion regulation and stronger motivation to change. She has also supported concerns such as aging and geriatric issues, chronic pain and illness, caregiver stress, family problems, communication difficulties, and multicultural concerns.
Tina frames treatment as a collaborative process, not a one-size-fits-all fix. People who choose her often want clear, calm guidance and practical strategies. She encourages small, steady steps and will work with you to adjust the plan as needs change.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding your goals and shaping conversations around what matters most to you. In online sessions that means the therapist asks about your priorities and adapts the work to your pace and needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and introduces small experiments to test new responses; this works well over video or messaging because homework and written exercises can be shared and reviewed between meetings.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tina will help you choose methods that fit your situation, goals, and preferences. Together you can try different strategies and adjust what you do based on what helps, so the plan evolves with your needs.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and work closely on thought records or worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when you need lower bandwidth or prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coping prompts, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep work moving forward even when schedules are tight.
