Background and approach
Tricia draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses techniques that help with thoughts and behaviors, skills for managing intense emotions, and ways to clarify personal values and goals. The plan is always tailored and adjusted as progress is made.
People come to her for many concerns including grief, relationship strain, addiction, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with chronic illness or major life changes. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem, career stress, and intimacy-related issues. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward.
Tricia helps clients practice new skills, try small experiments, and reflect on what works. Her approach is respectful and focused on helping people gain more control over day-to-day challenges.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Tricia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values while learning to accept difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tricia will collaborate with clients to choose and adapt methods based on each person’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. Techniques are tried and adjusted together so the plan fits real routines and real obstacles.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text let clients use short messages between meetings or check in when a written note is easier. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while keeping focus on practical progress and skill building.
