Tristine Barry, LMHC

Tristine Barry is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She brings 11 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, stress, addictions, and life transitions. Her approach centers on practical skills and gentle support so clients can feel steadier day to day.

She focuses on each person’s strengths and tailors interventions to fit their needs. Sessions mix talking with hands-on coping tools such as mindfulness, tapping, and breathing techniques. Tristine also integrates cognitive-behavioral methods and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take manageable steps toward it.

Her work includes support for grief, trauma, chronic pain, caregiver stress, and challenges like ADHD, depression, and bipolar mood concerns. She also pays attention to issues that arise from family of origin, attachment patterns, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment. Aging and geriatric issues are listed among her additional focus areas.

Tristine aims to be a steady, encouraging presence during change. She offers direct guidance, validation, and practical skills people can use between sessions. Technology and apps are sometimes used as tools to reinforce progress.

People who choose her often want a therapist who listens closely and teaches body-based coping alongside thought-focused strategies. She invites anyone ready to take a step forward to begin a collaborative process toward clearer daily routines and more resilience.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on taking actions that match their values. It often combines simple mindfulness exercises with small behavior changes to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thought patterns that contribute to distress and teaches practical strategies to change behaviors and reduce symptoms. Both approaches fit well with skill practice between sessions and clear, goal-oriented work.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. The therapist will work together with the client to try methods and see what helps the most. That collaborative process considers the client’s goals, daily routines, and how they prefer to learn coping skills.

The biography mentions using technology, apps, and online resources to support work between sessions. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow brief check-ins when needed, and support the use of digital exercises and homework tools that reinforce in-session learning.
