About Patricia
Patricia "Tricia" Conlon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 24 years of clinical experience helping people navigate relationship struggles, family conflict, trauma and loss, grief, stress, anxiety, and addictive behaviors.
Background and approach
She also addresses intimacy concerns, parenting and career pressures, bipolar disorder, depression, compassion fatigue, and issues affecting LGBT clients. Tricia combines a focus on couple and family dynamics with support for individuals facing major life changes and chronic illness.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in General Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Asheville and a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University, with licensure obtained in Florida in 2003.
Over her career she has worked in non-profit agencies, integrative medicine, oncology, psychiatry, substance abuse, and dementia services, and has taught virtual health sciences courses. Tricia has specialized training in dementia caregiver education and crisis intervention for first responders and community organizations.
Clinically, she uses an integrative approach drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment strategies, attachment-informed work, client-centered perspectives, and emotionally focused methods to tailor care to each client’s needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online access
Patricia "Tricia" Conlon draws on several evidence-informed methods to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values and build psychological flexibility through mindfulness and committed action, which can be useful for coping with life changes and chronic difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to relational patterns and emotional bonds, exploring how early and current relationships shape connection, intimacy, and family dynamics.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tricia works with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors interventions accordingly, combining techniques when appropriate so that therapy aligns with what the client hopes to achieve.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or health concerns. Video calls support face-to-face interaction, phone sessions provide an accessible option when video is not feasible, and live chat or text-based messaging allows for ongoing check-ins and shorter exchanges between sessions. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into busy lives while working with licensed professionals and experienced therapists.
