About Tristine

Tristine Barry is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida who draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to help people navigate a broad range of concerns.

Background and approach

With 11 years of clinical experience, she works with issues such as anxiety, stress, addictions, trauma and abuse, mood concerns like depression and bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, sleep and eating challenges, anger, and self-esteem. Her work also addresses relationship and family dynamics, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and chronic health-related stress.

She blends practical skill-building with empathic support, tailoring sessions to each person's needs and strengths. Her method emphasizes resilience through mind-body techniques including somatic coping practices, mindfulness, and elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside CBT.

Tristine integrates technology and therapeutic tools when helpful to reinforce learning between sessions. Approachable and encouraging, she focuses on helping clients develop concrete strategies and internal resources while offering validation and guidance throughout the therapeutic process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Tristine commonly combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes values, acceptance, and present-moment awareness to help people live more deliberately despite difficult feelings.

She approaches treatment collaboratively, helping each person explore which methods fit their goals and preferences. The therapist will work with clients to shape a plan that blends skills training, mindfulness practice, and problem-solving so the approach evolves as needs change.

Online therapy with her uses flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent care, practice newly learned strategies between sessions, and maintain momentum during life transitions.
