About Tyrina
Tyrina Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who uses practical, goal-focused therapy to help people regain steadiness. She speaks plainly and works together with clients to tackle problems that feel overwhelming. Her style aims to be direct and encouraging while keeping conversations straightforward and focused on what matters most to each person.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused ideas to help people change unhelpful thinking and build clearer next steps.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are used to strengthen self-awareness and motivation. Tyrina blends these approaches to create an individualized plan for each person she sees. Many years of her work have centered on people facing trauma and dual diagnosis, along with struggles in coping skills.
She also supports people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, and issues around relationships and self-esteem. Tyrina pays attention to life transitions and the practical skills needed to manage change. Her background includes training at Lynn University in Boca Raton and Barry University in Miami Shores, Florida.
She brings ten years of experience to clinical work and uses that experience to offer clear options and steps forward. The focus is on realistic goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sessions aim to be collaborative and problem-solving focused.
Tyrina helps clients set measurable goals, try specific strategies, and adjust plans as they go. The approach is meant to be usable in daily life and to build confidence over time.
Using practical approaches in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust so the person decides the pace and goals. It helps when someone wants a supportive space to sort feelings and find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and then teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by offering clear exercises and steps to try.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tyrina will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that fit their goals, needs, and daily life. Plans can change over time as progress is made or new challenges arise, and she will help adjust methods so they stay useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
