Tricia also supports those dealing with life changes, stress, career concerns, and intimacy-related issues. Her work is practical and down-to-earth.

Sessions focus on clear goals, learning new ways to cope, and improving communication. She draws on approaches that help people notice what matters, change unhelpful patterns, and rebuild connection.

In sessions she uses a mix of Cognitive Behavioral tools, emotion-focused methods, and acceptance-based practices. Conversations often involve skill building, tracking patterns, and practicing new ways to respond.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their values and take small, meaningful steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and attachment needs to improve closeness and reduce conflict in relationships. It is often used for couples and intimacy-related struggles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflections, or more frequent contact between appointments, which can help maintain steady progress.
