About Trishka
Trishka Lampkin is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California. She brings 16 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes.
Background and approach
Her work often focuses on identity exploration, trauma recovery, and improving emotional wellbeing. She creates a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what matters to them.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to match each person's needs. Trishka emphasizes practical tools people can use between appointments.
Her background includes work with issues such as relationship strain, addiction concerns, grief, and intimacy-related struggles. She also addresses parenting stress, sleep and eating difficulties, and challenges tied to chronic illness or caregiver roles.
The practice includes attention to identity-based stressors affecting LGBT people and others facing intersectional barriers. Trishka draws on several evidence-informed methods to shape her work.
She blends approaches to help people build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen attachment patterns. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
People who reach out can expect a down-to-earth style, clear goals, and an emphasis on what helps in daily life. Trishka supports clients who want practical strategies and steady emotional support as they navigate change.
She practices as a California LMFT and conducts sessions in English. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Approaches that guide remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking action that matters, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It can help with stress, anxiety, and motivation during life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connection patterns and helps people develop more supported ways of relating in adulthood.Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they test methods and adjust the plan so it fits the person’s life and needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls allow for a near face-to-face conversation and deeper real-time interaction. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, skill practice, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent during workweeks, parenting demands, or when travel is involved.
