About Tristine
Tristine Barry is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 11 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and life transitions. Her tone is calm and encouraging and she aims to make therapy practical and doable for busy lives.
She starts by finding what a person already does well. From there she builds steps that fit daily life, not abstract tasks that are hard to use.
Background and approach
Sessions include skills for managing strong emotions, improving sleep and eating patterns, and coping with chronic pain or mood swings. She also addresses relationship struggles, career stress, and issues connected to family of origin or attachment. Her methods draw from acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive-behavioral work, and mindfulness practices.
She often teaches simple body-based coping tools such as breathing, grounding, and gentle movement to calm the nervous system. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help changing habits like substance use or unhealthy routines. Tristine offers therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and pricing varies with location and therapist availability. People who want a collaborative, strengths-focused therapist will find clear guidance, practical tools, and steady support. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling is arranged according to therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online options for real-life struggles
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and commit to actions that match their values while still living a full life. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions that leave people stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT focuses on changing unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical habits to reduce symptoms like panic, worry, and sleep disruption. It is often paired with simple skills people can use between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and body-based practices, such as breathing and grounding, to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation; it supports work on stress, chronic pain, and mood issues.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they test methods and adjust the plan so it fits how someone lives and what they hope to change.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people fit sessions around work, caregiving, or busy days. Video calls allow face-to-face dialogue and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for short updates, homework prompts, or when someone prefers typed conversation. These formats increase flexibility and make it easier to use skills consistently between sessions.
