Tressa Bloom

Tressa Bloom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 27 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and related concerns. She works from Florida and brings a long history of education in psychology, including a Master of Arts in Community/Clinical Psychology and additional advanced doctoral study. Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Tressa adapts her approach to what each person needs. She uses practical conversation to identify what’s causing worry or anger, then tests small changes that can reduce distress. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps people can try between meetings. She draws on several therapeutic methods, including client-centered work that follows the person’s lead, cognitive behavioral ideas that link thoughts and actions, and psychodynamic perspectives that look at long-term patterns. Tressa may shift approaches as new concerns surface and as people choose different directions for their care. Her background includes work with kids as young as five, teens, and adults, addressing issues such as trauma, self-esteem, depression, grief, ADHD, and challenges tied to relationships and parenting. She also supports people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Tressa emphasizes a trusting relationship as the first step. She invites open discussion about treatment choices and asks clients to join in setting goals and plans. That shared decision-making shapes each person’s path forward.

Approaches that guide online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs space to talk and to set their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions fit together and teaches practical skills for handling anxiety, anger, and mood problems. Psychodynamic work pays attention to patterns that repeat over time and can help when people want to understand deeper roots of their reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Decisions about methods are made jointly and can change as needs evolve.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet without travel time. Those practical benefits often help people keep regular contact and work toward their goals with less disruption to daily life.
