About Tristine
Tristine Barry is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, stress, addictions, career pressure, ADHD, relationship strain, grief, and depression. Her practice also addresses trauma, chronic pain, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
She uses practical tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Tristine also integrates mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing to help people notice what matters and take small actionable steps. Sessions include teaching simple mind-body coping skills such as grounding, breathing work, and basic somatic techniques.
Her way of working is direct and focused on what helps in daily life. She listens, validates, and offers guidance while helping people build resilience. Technology and apps are used occasionally to support skills practice between sessions.
Many people contact her while juggling work, study, or big life changes. She helps people sort priorities, manage panic or overwhelming stress, and develop steady routines for sleep and mood. Practical problem solving and short-term behavior changes are common parts of her work.
Tristine believes clearer choices come from practicing small habits and checking what actually helps. She works collaboratively to set goals and track progress over time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take action despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Online ACT often uses brief exercises and values-based goal setting to shape everyday choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and trying new skills to change how someone feels. In remote sessions this often looks like short skill practice, behavioral experiments, and worksheets to use between meetings.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and what’s realistic for their life. That decision is revisited as progress is tracked and new needs come up.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for flexible check-ins that match work or study breaks. Some people prefer shorter check-ins while others use full sessions for skill practice; the therapist can help shape a plan that fits day-to-day demands.
