About Tricia

Dr. Tricia Park welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to turn. She writes in a straightforward way and aims to make the first step to counseling feel manageable.

Dr. Park is a New York licensed psychologist with 22 years of experience and focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, and family matters. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental.

Sessions give clients room to lead when that helps and structure when it’s needed.

Background and approach

She helps people uncover the roots of their current struggles and build clearer self-understanding. That can include working through trauma, coping with life changes, or addressing mood and relationship patterns. Dr.

Park blends techniques to fit each person’s goals. She offers eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, for trauma work and uses cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness and acceptance-based practices are used to help people tolerate difficult feelings and refocus on valued actions.

Previously she taught as a professor for about seven years before moving into individual practice. That background informs her clear explanations and practical guidance. She also has experience providing Christian counseling when it fits a client’s values.

Sessions cover the immediate problem and the personal history behind it. The aim is to restore a sense of direction and day-to-day functioning, one step at a time.

How specific approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them and then choose actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions typically combine gentle skill practice with exercises to clarify what matters to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through concrete exercises and homework. In an online setting CBT often uses short, task-based work between sessions to build new habits. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is an approach for processing traumatic memories; some elements can be adapted for remote work with careful planning and pacing.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences and then recommend one or a mix of approaches. Decisions are made together so the plan fits the client’s needs and comfort level.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist see facial cues and body language, phone sessions work when video isn’t possible, and live chat or text messaging make shorter check-ins and ongoing support easier. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.

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.

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.
