About Patricia

Patricia "Tricia" Conlon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 24 years of clinical experience. She helps people handle relationship strain, family conflict, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. Tricia works with couples and adults navigating life changes, caregiving roles, addiction, and intimacy issues.

She practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Tricia uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods in sessions. She blends approaches to match each person’s needs, drawing from cognitive behavioral techniques to address thinking patterns and emotionally focused work to repair relationship bonds.

Background and approach

Attachment-based ideas guide her work with families and partners who want clearer roles and safer connection. Her background includes work across healthcare, nonprofit, and educational settings. That experience shaped her focus on caregiving stress, dementia-related family challenges, and support for first responders and other high-stress professionals.

Tricia has also provided training and taught virtual health sciences classes at the university level. In sessions she aims for practical goals. Conversations often include skill-building for coping, communication practice, and steps to manage mood or stress.

Parents and partners can expect direct tools to try between sessions and follow-up on what helped. Therapy is organized around collaboration and realistic pacing. Tricia looks at the person and the relationships around them to find workable change.

She uses a subscription-based session model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit family needs

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small steps toward them, even when emotions feel overwhelming; it is useful for stress, anxiety, and making life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on how partners or family members connect in the moment, and it helps rebuild trust and improve emotional responsiveness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and teaches concrete coping skills for mood, anxiety, and behavioral change.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods and adjust over time to find the best fit for the family or relationship concerns.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around caregiving, work, or relocation within Florida. Many clients find that remote sessions let them apply new skills in real time and check in between appointments when needed.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
