About Tequina
LCSW in Utah with nine years of experience, Tequina Adams-Ballew focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes. She works with people who want to understand themselves, reflect on patterns, and do the hard work of change. Sessions are described as honest and direct, with validation paired with a willingness to challenge when needed.
Tequina helps people untangle relationship patterns and communication problems. She offers practical ways to manage panic attacks, social anxiety, and phobias. For those facing abandonment issues, codependency, guilt, or shame, she works to identify repeated patterns and interrupt unhelpful cycles.
Her approach centers on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That means she uses methods aimed at clearer thinking, learning new behaviors, and reducing intense emotions. She encourages reflection and active practice between sessions so skills carry into daily life.
Sessions address common life stressors and transitions. People bring grief, worries about seasonally low mood, or the stresses of young adult life. Tequina aims to help people communicate more clearly and respond to distress with specific tools rather than only talk.
Practical matters are part of the work. She invites honesty, sets clear expectations, and challenges unhelpful patterns when progress requires it. To begin a match, follow the site steps to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches fit into online work
Tequina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and clearer thinking. One common approach she relies on teaches breathing, grounding, and behavioral steps to manage panic attacks and severe anxiety. This helps people recognize the signs of escalating fear and practice responses that reduce intensity.Another approach emphasizes examining relationship patterns and communication habits. This involves identifying repeated reactions, trying new ways of interacting, and practicing communication skills in session so people can use them in real life. These methods aim to change how someone responds to triggers rather than only talking about past events.
Choosing the best approach is a shared process. She works with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. The plan can shift over time as progress is made or new needs appear.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, keep shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly use these practical benefits to make consistent progress while fitting sessions into everyday life.
