About Tyrina

Tyrina Phillips is a licensed clinical social worker who centers therapy on practical, evidence-informed methods to help people build stronger coping skills and move toward clearer goals.

Background and approach

With ten years of clinical experience, she blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-focused strategies to address trauma, dual diagnosis concerns, mood difficulties, and everyday stressors. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and individualized treatment planning so interventions align with each person's priorities and life context.

She has worked extensively with clients managing trauma and abuse, addiction and dual diagnosis, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, relationship and family challenges, and compassion fatigue. Tyrina also addresses a range of related concerns including grief, isolation, control and commitment issues, and problems tied to aging or life transitions.

Based in Florida, she uses motivational interviewing, narrative techniques, and mindfulness practices alongside CBT to support practical change and increased self-awareness.

Online approaches that combine skills and self-exploration

Many of her sessions use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and substance-related struggles. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her work and focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship so clients can explore values and personal goals at their own pace. Mindfulness Therapy is used to develop present-moment awareness and coping strategies that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is collaborative; the therapist will work with each person to determine which combination of techniques best fits their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Treatment plans are tailored and adjusted over time as progress and challenges become clearer, so clients play an active role in shaping their care.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to receive support from home or while managing a busy schedule. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling and allow consistent engagement through short or longer interactions depending on what the client finds most helpful.
