About Tina
Dr. Tina Lott helps people who are dealing with addiction, relationship strain, mood shifts, and codependency concerns. She speaks plainly about coping with anxiety, stress, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-worth. Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at helping people make practical changes they can use day to day.
Dr. Lott holds a Doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision and completed a Master’s degree in 2011. She is licensed in Illinois as an LCPC and also holds a Washington LMHC credential. Her training includes work focused on addiction and co-occurring disorders, and she brings eleven years of clinical experience to her practice.
In sessions she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address things like depression, bipolar symptoms, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, anger, and control issues. She pays attention to how past abandonment and trauma can shape current relationships and patterns of behavior. Conversations focus on concrete steps, coping strategies, and rebuilding self-love and healthier boundaries.
Outside clinical work, Dr. Lott teaches counseling at the university level and is active in professional associations that relate to counseling and certification. Her academic work informs her clinical perspective and keeps her attuned to the latest research and debates in the field.
She lives in Illinois with her family and pursues interests like exercise, painting, travel, and reading. Those personal interests inform a practical, human approach in sessions that values both change and self-compassion.
How evidence-based approaches guide online work
Many clinicians use evidence-based techniques to help with addiction, mood symptoms, trauma responses, and relationship patterns. One approach focuses on building concrete coping skills and behavior change strategies that reduce cravings, manage mood swings, and improve sleep and eating habits. Another approach looks at relationship patterns and codependency by identifying unhelpful roles and practicing boundary-setting and self-care to create healthier interactions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan based on what is working. That way treatment stays practical and goal-focused rather than one-size-fits-all.

Therapists and clients can choose formats that best match energy levels, bandwidth, and daily routines to keep progress moving forward.
