Tristine Barry

Tristine Barry is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida who centers her work on practical skills and strengths. She helps people facing anxiety, stress, addictions, career challenges, ADHD, and other concerns. Her manner is calm and steady, and she focuses on clear steps clients can take between sessions.

She draws on a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs. That includes cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to encourage action toward valued goals. Mindfulness and somatic tools such as breathing and simple body-based exercises are used to build resilience in daily life.

Sessions emphasize teaching coping skills and practicing them together. Tristine uses guided exercises, short skill drills, and discussion to help people manage panic, chronic pain, grief, and relationship strain. She also integrates motivational interviewing strategies when working through substance use and behavior change.

Her background includes work with trauma, chronic illness, and emotional regulation difficulties. Over eleven years she has supported people dealing with sleep and eating problems, anger, low self-esteem, and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar symptoms. She aims to validate experience while offering clear, doable tools.

Clients can expect a collaborative, strengths-based approach. Tristine invites people to set practical goals and tries to be a supportive cheerleader through the process. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

Approaches that guide online work and goal-focused sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It blends mindful noticing with practical action so clients can move forward on career or life goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It helps with anxiety, panic, sleep and eating issues, and mood concerns by breaking problems into manageable parts and practicing new skills.

Mindfulness and simple somatic tools are used alongside these approaches to teach calming strategies and body-based coping for trauma or chronic pain. These techniques are brief and can be practiced during the week to reduce reactivity and build resilience.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process includes trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.

Confirm the available session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use digital tools and apps to track progress between meetings.
