About Trisha

Trisha Maslakowski is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) practicing in Tennessee. She brings five years of clinical experience and focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting concerns. Trisha aims to meet people where they are and support them through change with practical, down-to-earth care.

Trisha relies on straightforward conversation and collaborative planning. She listens first, then helps set clear goals and steps that feel doable.

Background and approach

Her style is compassionate and respectful, and she adjusts the pace to each person's needs. Her work often uses client-centered methods that keep the person's experience at the center of sessions. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes.

These approaches are used to address issues such as trauma, anger, low self-esteem, mood struggles, and compassion fatigue. Sessions can include exploring feelings around guilt and shame, building self-love, and navigating women's issues when relevant. Trisha helps people learn coping skills for life transitions and supports recovery from post-traumatic stress and mood disorders.

Starting therapy with her involves a short matching process and scheduling that fits the individual. She emphasizes practical steps, steady progress, and building skills clients can use outside sessions.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the person's own goals guide the work. In an online session that can mean the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the client set realistic, personally meaningful goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thoughts and actions that keep problems going and tests small changes to see what helps. Online CBT often uses short exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that the person practices between sessions to reduce anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Trisha works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques based on how someone responds, making changes as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Those options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, and school. The range of formats also lets someone pick what feels most comfortable for talking through sensitive topics, practicing new skills, or checking in between longer sessions.

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.
