These approaches are used to make changes in thoughts, behaviors, and relationships.

She also supports people managing chronic illness, cancer, caregiver stress, and body image or identity questions.

People who choose Tricia usually want a practical partner who listens closely and helps turn insight into action. She aims to help clients find clearer direction, reduce distress, and build skills for long-term coping.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Tricia integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy - ACT - to help clients clarify values, accept difficult feelings, and commit to actions that matter to them. Client-centered methods are part of her practice as well, providing listening and reflection so clients feel understood and can explore their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then adapt methods to fit each person's needs. That working-together attitude helps ensure therapy feels relevant and doable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows real-time conversation and visual cues, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while keeping focus on practical progress.
