About Tricia

Tricia Walsh is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and complex medical or caregiving challenges. She practices in Florida and brings practical, straightforward guidance to sessions. Her work emphasizes building a strong working relationship and using that connection as the engine for change.

Clients can expect to set clear, realistic goals and to work step by step toward them.

Background and approach

Tricia focuses on concrete strategies for managing symptoms, improving communication, and coping with life transitions. She also addresses issues like grief, addiction, compassion fatigue, self-esteem, and career concerns. Her approach draws on several well-established therapies.

Tricia uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and try different actions. She also includes client-centered listening to keep the process grounded in each person's values and priorities. Tricia is comfortable addressing a wide range of concerns including bipolar disorder, ADHD, intimacy and relationship challenges, and caring for someone with chronic illness.

She also works with issues such as body image, attachment problems, blended family stress, and communication breakdowns. Every plan is tailored to the individual. Sessions move at a pace that fits the person seeking help, and practical tools are emphasized so people can practice new skills between meetings.

Tricia aims to help clients build more effective ways of coping and a clearer sense of purpose.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses on moving toward what matters even when hard feelings are present and can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and problem solving. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening, empathy, and supporting the client's own pace and priorities to build insight and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tricia will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts tools and pacing as progress and life circumstances change.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions can be used when video isn't convenient, and live chat or text messaging provide ongoing check-ins or brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.

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.
