Tyrina Phillips, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Tyrina

Tyrina Phillips is a licensed clinical social worker who draws on practical, evidence-based methods to help people get unstuck. She uses clear, down-to-earth language and works with clients to set realistic goals. Conversations are straightforward and focused on skills you can use between sessions.

Tyrina holds an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Her work centers on trauma and abuse, mood concerns like depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety and stress, and challenges tied to addiction and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She also supports people navigating career questions, relationship and family issues, and major life transitions. Tyrina has particular experience addressing problems that come with poor coping skills and dual diagnosis. She brings about 10 years of clinical experience in Florida.

Tyrina creates treatment plans tailored to each person rather than using one fixed approach. Sessions combine practical steps with attention to a person’s story and values. Her tools include cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, and narrative-oriented work.

She also uses solution-focused strategies to identify small changes that lead to relief. The pace and focus are shaped by what matters most to the client. Tyrina aims to help people build skills, reduce distress, and move toward greater balance.

She meets clients where they are and partners with them on actionable steps toward their goals.

Evidence-based approaches for online therapy and change

Tyrina uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. CBT is practical and often focuses on skill-building for anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people become more present and manage strong emotions. Mindfulness exercises are simple skills that can reduce reactivity and support clearer decision making in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and adjusts methods as needed. Together they pick strategies that fit the client’s situation and pace, and check in regularly to see what is helping.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to continue care from home or work. Tyrina uses these formats to practice skills in real time, review progress, and support steady steps toward clients’ goals.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
