Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about sessions, fees, and how everything works. Still unsure? The chat assistant or the contact page can help.

How much does a session cost?

An individual session is $135, a couples session is $160, and a coaching session is $135. Reduced regional rates and sliding scale spots exist too. You always see your exact price before you pay.

Do you take insurance?

The practice is self-pay and does not bill insurance. That keeps your care private: no diagnosis is required for a claim and no records go to an insurer. Sliding scale spots are available if cost is a barrier.

Where are sessions held?

All sessions are online, by secure video. Tina offers therapy to clients throughout Florida and coaching to Arabic-speaking clients and expats abroad.

Do you offer therapy in Arabic?

Yes. Tina is fluent in Arabic, and sessions can be in Arabic or English. Therapy is for clients located in Florida; Arabic-speaking clients in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and elsewhere work with her through coaching.

Can I work with Tina from Egypt or Saudi Arabia?

Yes, through coaching, in Arabic or English. That includes Cairo, El Gouna, Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Khobar, and anywhere else in either country. Therapy is only for clients located in Florida, where Tina is licensed. Booking times are shown in your local time, and a lower rate applies automatically when you book from Egypt.

What is the difference between therapy and coaching?

Therapy treats mental health concerns and requires a license, so it is limited to where Tina is licensed (Florida). Coaching is goal-focused support for growth and life decisions, includes no diagnosis or treatment, and is available worldwide.

What is EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based approach that helps the brain reprocess painful memories so they lose their emotional charge. Tina is trained in EMDR and uses it for trauma and PTSD.

What is your cancellation policy?

Please cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours before your session by replying to your confirmation email. Later cancellations and missed sessions may be charged the full fee.

Can I get a reduced fee?

Yes. A limited number of sliding scale spots exist, and reduced regional rates apply automatically for clients booking from Egypt. You can request a reduced fee at tenfoldtherapy.com/reduced-fee and Tina will reply by email.

How do I book a session?

Pick a session type and an open time on the booking page, fill in a short intake, verify your email, sign the consent, and pay securely online. The whole thing takes about five minutes.

Is what I share confidential?

Yes. Sessions are confidential with narrow legal exceptions (like imminent risk of serious harm), which Tina explains in the informed consent. Your intake details are encrypted, and clinical records live in a secure health record system.

What happens in the first session?

Before the first session you complete intake paperwork from the secure client portal. The session itself is a conversation: what brings you in, your history, and what you want to change. There is no pressure to share more than you are ready to.

How long is a session?

Sessions are 50 minutes by default. Times on the booking page are shown in your own time zone.

Do you prescribe medication?

No. Tina is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and counselors do not prescribe medication. If medication might help, she can coordinate with your doctor or a psychiatric prescriber alongside therapy.

Who do you work with?

Tina works with teens, adults, and couples, facing anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. She also offers coaching for personal growth, available worldwide.

How often are sessions?

You and Tina decide that together based on your goals. Many clients start weekly and space sessions out as things improve.

What payment methods do you accept?

Payment is by credit or debit card through Stripe's secure checkout when you book online. You pay when booking, so your spot is confirmed instantly.

Does online therapy actually work?

Yes. Research consistently finds online therapy as effective as in-person care for most concerns, including anxiety and trauma. All you need is a private space and a stable connection.

What time zone are appointment times shown in?

The booking page automatically shows every time in your own time zone, so the time you pick is exactly when you meet, wherever you are.

How can I check that Tina is licensed?

Tina Bilyeu is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, license number MH27127. You can look it up yourself on the Florida Department of Health license verification site: https://mqa-internet.doh.state.fl.us/mqasearchservices/home
