About Tressa
Tressa Bloom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 27 years of experience. She has a long academic background including associate, bachelor, and master degrees and advanced PhD studies. Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, LGBT issues, relationship and family concerns, grief, eating issues, parenting, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
She adapts her approach to the person in front of her. Tressa uses a mix of client-centered, cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and solution-focused methods. She prefers to discuss treatment choices openly with each person and to make decisions together. This means the approach may shift as concerns are examined in more depth.
Her practice notes experience across many presentations and age groups. The biography indicates work with children as young as five, teens, and adults, though this directory is focused on young adults. She frames therapy as a collaborative process that starts with building a trusting relationship.
Sessions focus on concrete problems and coping skills as well as the thoughts and patterns that keep problems going. Tressa also lists additional focus areas such as attachment issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, and compassion fatigue.
People looking for help with transitions typical of early adulthood - leaving home, job stress, identity, relationships, and feeling behind - may find her practical, discussion-based style relevant. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and processes when scheduling.
How Tressa’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the person’s experience. It helps when someone needs to talk through feelings, clarify values, or feel understood while sorting problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and for building new coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will review goals and preferences together and may try different methods over several sessions to see what fits best. Decisions about which methods to use are made jointly with the person seeking help.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific online formats. Ask which formats are currently offered and how scheduling works. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks at work or school. Different formats also let people choose whether to be on camera, use audio only, or schedule a shorter session when time is limited.
