About Tricia
Tricia Walsh is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other challenging life situations. She practices in Florida and works with adults facing medical issues, caregiving strain, grief, addiction concerns, and relationship or intimacy struggles. Tricia emphasizes a respectful, steady relationship as the starting point for change.
She aims to partner with each person to set clear, realistic goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and building strategies that fit everyday life. Tricia listens for each person's story and looks for strengths to build on. Her approach draws on Narrative methods, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered principles, along with tools from cognitive and dialectical work when helpful.
That means she pays attention to the stories people tell about themselves, teaches ways to accept difficult feelings while taking meaningful action, and adapts to each person's pace. In the room she keeps language plain and direct. She often breaks problems into manageable parts and practices new ways of responding.
People leave with concrete techniques to steady mood, handle stress, and improve communication. Tricia treats concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood issues, compassion fatigue, body image, and career stress alongside common problems like anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She invites clients to try different strategies and to shape therapy around their values and goals.

Online session options
How Narrative and ACT inform online care
Tricia draws on Narrative therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. Narrative work looks at how past events and labels shape current life and helps people find alternative, more helpful stories to move forward.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which teaches skills to accept difficult emotions while taking actions that match personal values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and making changes that matter to the client.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Tricia will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try approaches together and adjust as needed. She aims for a collaborative plan that fits each person's life and needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video calls work well for fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, practice exercises, or when writing helps organize thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while keeping continuity of care.
