Trisha Maslakowski is a licensed professional counselor with the LPC-MHSP credential who practices in Tennessee. She brings five years of clinical experience and a calm, straightforward manner to sessions. Trisha focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and mood concerns so they can feel steadier day to day.

Trisha listens without judgment and shapes sessions around each person's needs. She uses clear, practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and build skills for calmer responses. Many clients work on anger, motivation, self-esteem, or recovery from trauma and abuse.

Parents who are worn out by daily demands can find strategies for coping and for setting realistic expectations. Trisha also helps people dealing with compassion fatigue and the emotional cost of caregiving. She talks plainly about small, useful changes that add up over time.

Her work blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a client-centered approach. That means she emphasizes both skill-building and an accepting, respectful conversation. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort.

Trisha offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to fit different routines. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. This straightforward process helps people move from deciding to get help to starting therapy.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Trisha combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered work in online sessions to make progress feel doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing how thoughts affect feelings and behaviors and then trying small experiments to see what changes. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and problem-focused work.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person and their experience. The therapist offers acceptance, empathy, and open questions so the person can explore what matters most and set goals at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Trisha will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods as needed so the plan fits the person's life. She works together with clients to pick techniques that feel practical and manageable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people practice skills and read cues on screen, while phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be used for brief updates, skill reminders, or when a shorter exchange fits a busy day. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit into school, work, caregiving, or other routines.
