About Tricia

Tricia Walsh is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and long-term medical challenges. She practices in Florida and focuses on building a trusting relationship as the starting point for change. Tricia aims to partner with clients to help them move toward clearer goals and greater emotional balance.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on practical strategies that fit each person's life. Tricia helps people name patterns that cause pain, try new ways of coping, and practice skills to feel more in control.

She brings several evidence-informed approaches to sessions, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered methods. These tools are used to address anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy difficulties, and codependency among other issues.

Tricia also supports people facing compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and career transitions. She works with individuals who want help with self-esteem, anger, commitment struggles, ADHD-related concerns, and the emotional impact of major life changes.

In meetings she focuses on clear steps and gentle accountability. The work often includes skill practice between sessions, checking progress against goals, and adjusting strategies as needed. Tricia welcomes questions and aims to make the process understandable and usable for everyday life.

How certain approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, codependency, and life transitions by focusing on meaningful behavior rather than symptom control.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress through structured practice and behavioral experiments.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. It can be helpful when strong emotions or relationship conflicts get in the way of daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is tracked.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking so you know what to expect. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT skills to work well in remote sessions and help clients practice tools between meetings.
