About Tristine
Tristine Barry is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She draws on eleven years of clinical experience to help people facing anxiety, stress, addictions, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Her style is calm and encouraging and she focuses on clients' strengths to build practical skills.
She uses a mix of approaches based on what each person needs. That can include cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment ideas to focus on values, and mindfulness and body-based coping exercises to reduce tension. Tristine also incorporates motivational interviewing when people want help making lasting behavior changes.
In sessions she teaches simple somatic techniques such as breathing, grounding, and tapping to help manage overwhelm and physical symptoms of stress. She also works with issues tied to relationships, family history, grief, chronic pain, and life transitions. Sleep and rest concerns are among the issues she addresses as part of improving daily functioning.
Her approach is interactive and practical. She offers guidance, validation, and tools clients can try between visits. Technology and apps are sometimes used to support progress and reinforce new habits.
Tristine invites people who are ready to take a step toward change to begin a collaborative process. She emphasizes resilience-building and continued skill practice so clients can better navigate setbacks and move toward valued goals.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarifying what matters most so actions can match those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical steps to change patterns that cause distress. Mindfulness-based techniques train attention to reduce reactivity and to calm the body and mind.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That shared planning helps tailor sessions to personal needs and priorities.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find phone or video helpful for practicing skills in real life, while others prefer tools and apps between sessions to reinforce progress. Discussing practical preferences during the first meeting helps match the approach to everyday life.
