About Tricia
Tricia Stark is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She guides clients through relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and life changes with clear, practical steps.

She has about 15 years of experience in counseling and also serves as a Certified First Responder Counselor for law enforcement, fire and rescue, medical, and military personnel.
Background and approach
That background informs her work with first responders and veterans who face job-related trauma and stress. Tricia listens for the specific problems that make life harder and builds a plan around them. Her approach is integrative, meaning she blends techniques to fit each person.
Typical methods she draws on include person-centered work, solution-focused strategies, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and cognitive-processing methods. Sessions focus on practical tools, clearer thinking, and manageable behavior changes. Tricia pays attention to relationship patterns and communication problems, including commitment issues, infidelity, divorce and separation, and family of origin concerns.
She also addresses mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, guilt and shame, and the isolation that can follow trauma. Sessions are offered in English and are provided through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She works with the client to set goals and use methods that fit their situation and schedule.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Tricia commonly draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related concerns because it focuses on practical steps and measurable change.She also uses cognitive-processing methods to help people make sense of traumatic experiences and reduce their ongoing emotional impact. That work centers on understanding beliefs that keep distress alive and building new ways of thinking about the events.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter, focused check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can keep contact brief and continuous between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain regular contact with licensed professionals.
