About Tressa
Tressa Bloom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 27 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, parenting challenges, and other life changes. She trained extensively in psychology and community mental health and brings long experience across ages. Tressa practices in Florida and offers services in English.
Her approach changes to match what each person needs. She starts by listening and building a trusting relationship. From there she talks through goals and outlines practical steps to reach them.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual. Tressa draws on several methods to address problems like depression, ADHD, eating concerns, anger, and identity issues. She uses techniques that help people notice thoughts and try different behaviors when helpful.
She also explores life history to understand patterns that keep problems going. She has worked with children as young as five, teens, and adults. Her practice includes support for parenting, career stress, compassion fatigue, and coping after trauma or major changes.
She is familiar with a broad range of related issues such as attachment concerns, communication problems, and body image struggles. Tressa prefers open conversations about treatment choices and adjusts methods as issues evolve. She aims to make therapy understandable and practical so parents and individuals can take small, useful steps between sessions.
How Tressa's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual's experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and supports clients as they decide on goals. This approach suits people who need a steady, respectful place to talk through parenting stress, identity concerns, or grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT includes practical exercises and short activities between sessions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Tressa will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they choose or adjust methods during the course of work so therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions remove travel needs, and live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins and between-session work. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family life and to keep momentum when schedules are tight.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.
