About Tyrina
Tyrina Phillips is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who focuses on practical ways to manage anxiety and stress. She keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative so people can work toward clearer goals. Her style aims to motivate and challenge clients while honoring their doubts about therapy.
She has about 10 years of experience working with people who face trauma, dual diagnosis, and difficulty with coping skills. Tyrina creates treatment plans tailored to each person's needs rather than using one fixed approach.
Background and approach
She regularly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change patterns of thinking and behavior that feed worry and low mood. Motivational Interviewing appears in her work to help people find reasons to change and strengthen their own motivation. Mindfulness practices are used to teach simple ways to calm the body and focus attention in stressful moments.
Narrative and solution-focused ideas help people identify strengths and small steps forward. Tyrina trained in South Florida, attending Lynn University in Boca Raton and Barry University in Miami Shores. She brings a trauma-informed perspective to sessions and notices how past experiences shape present reactions.
Her background includes work with addiction, mood disorders, relationship stress, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered to people in Florida and are conducted in English. Tyrina uses a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can pick the format that fits their life.
Therapeutic approaches that adapt to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working at the client’s pace. The therapist follows the person’s concerns and supports choices, which helps when sorting through anxiety or relationship strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses simple tools to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes, which can reduce worry and improve mood over time.
Tyrina approaches online care as a collaborative process. She will talk with clients about their goals and try different methods to see what fits best. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT, mindfulness exercises, or motivational techniques based on needs and preferences.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for longer therapy sessions and exercises that use visual materials. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text are useful for short check-ins, tracking progress, or staying connected between calls. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting days that are already busy.
