About Patricia
Patricia (Tricia) Ring is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with 28 years of clinical experience. She trained in psychology and social work in Connecticut before moving to Indiana in 2017. Tricia centers her work on clear, practical steps that clients can use right away.
She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Tricia also draws on client-centered principles, mindfulness, emotionally focused ideas, and motivational interviewing to match the approach to each person. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with room for humor when appropriate.
Tricia has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress, and trauma and abuse. She has experience supporting people dealing with relationship strain, grief, sleep problems, career stress, and codependency concerns. She also has worked with adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, and family of origin problems.
Her style is collaborative and respectful. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and helps them build on existing strengths. Together she and the client identify concrete steps to help them move through changes and manage symptoms.
For people who are nervous about starting therapy, Tricia aims to make the first meetings straightforward. She listens, helps set short-term goals, and adjusts the plan as needed to keep progress practical and realistic.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's pace. The therapist creates space for people to tell their story and helps them find their own solutions, which often fits well into online conversations.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify thought patterns and try new behaviors. In short, practical steps and homework, CBT supports work on anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and codependency concerns.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) brings attention to emotions and how they shape relationships and self-understanding. This approach can help people who want to better understand emotional responses and improve important connections in their life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how they like to learn or practice skills. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so work or family obligations are easier to manage.
