Tristine Barry

Tristine Barry is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings 11 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and career challenges, ADHD, grief, trauma, chronic pain, and anger. Her approach centers on strengths and practical steps toward steadier days.

She uses a calm, listening style and offers tailored support rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions focus on teaching coping skills that connect the body and mind, such as breathing, grounding, and mindfulness tools. She also draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take values-based action.

Tristine blends hands-on skill practice with conversational reflection. She may use apps and other technology to reinforce strategies between meetings. The work aims to build resilience, reduce overwhelm, and improve day-to-day functioning rather than promise quick fixes.

People who come for help with substance concerns, eating or sleeping problems, compassion fatigue, or family-of-origin issues can expect a practical focus. Tristine also addresses abandonment wounds, attachment concerns, codependency, and communication struggles with straightforward tools and pacing that match each person.

Her style includes encouragement and clear guidance. She frames therapy as a partnership where progress comes from trying skills, noticing results, and adjusting the plan together.

Online approaches that connect skills and values

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction. It pairs practical exercises with mindfulness to reduce getting stuck in unhelpful thoughts and to increase meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to change moods and reactions. It often uses short exercises and homework to build skills between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lessen reactivity and increase calm, which can help with anxiety, anger, and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first, monitor how they land, and adjust the plan based on goals and preferences. The process is described as a partnership where the client’s values and daily life shape the plan.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Many people find that remote sessions help fit counseling into a busy week, make brief check-ins easier, and allow the use of apps or digital tools between meetings. These practical benefits can support steady progress without requiring major schedule changes.
