About Trisha
Trisha Smith-Gomes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who aims to help parents and caregivers feel less overwhelmed and more confident. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly about stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, low self-esteem, or feeling stuck. Trisha focuses on practical steps that fit into everyday life and meets each person where they are.
Her style is warm, supportive, and collaborative. She listens to each person's experiences and adapts sessions to match their goals and strengths.
Background and approach
Rather than using a single method, Trisha works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to find what helps most for the issue at hand. Over 15 years she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, anger, communication problems, social anxiety, and caregiver stress. Her background includes supporting neurodivergent individuals and helping people manage impulsivity and workplace pressures.
She also addresses life purpose, self-love, and the isolation that can follow major life changes. Sessions focus on identifying what is getting in the way, learning coping skills, and practicing new ways of responding. Trisha emphasizes small, achievable changes and building on existing strengths.
She moves at a pace that feels right for each person. People who choose Trisha can expect straightforward talk, practical tools, and steady support for parenting challenges and personal growth. She works from Florida and offers sessions in English.
Practical approaches for online therapy and parenting support
Trisha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and clear goals. One approach emphasizes learning and practicing coping strategies for anxiety and stress, helping people notice triggers and use step-by-step tools to reduce overwhelm. Another focuses on emotional regulation and impulse control, teaching ways to pause, identify feelings, and choose responses that match your values and goals.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Trisha will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and daily life. She adjusts methods over time based on what helps and what feels manageable for the client.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help maintain continuity of care during life transitions or moves. Licensed professionals support practical steps and carryover tasks between sessions to help apply new skills in daily family life.
