Tristine Barry, LMHC

Tristine Barry is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida who focuses on practical, strengths-based help. She works with people facing addictions, anxiety, stress, career challenges, ADHD, and relationship concerns. Her style is calm and encouraging, and she emphasizes real skills people can use between sessions.

She draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Client-centered principles guide sessions so the person leads the pace and goals. Tristine also teaches mindfulness and somatic coping skills, such as breathing and tapping techniques, to reduce overwhelm and manage strong emotions.

Her work includes supporting people who have experienced trauma and those living with chronic pain. She helps clients develop resilience by practicing simple mind-body tools and by breaking problems into manageable steps. Practical tools and short exercises are common in sessions.

Tristine uses technology, apps, and online resources alongside talk therapy to extend learning between meetings. She aims to be a consistent supporter and motivator while helping people create routines that fit their lives. The approach is collaborative - she helps people set goals and tracks progress together.

With 11 years of experience as an LMHC, Tristine brings steady presence and an emphasis on skill-building. She invites people who want to find workable changes and greater hope to take small steps forward and build on what already works for them.

Using ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness in online care

Tristine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and choose actions that align with what matters to them. ACT focuses on values and small steps rather than trying to eliminate difficult thoughts.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical behavior changes. CBT works well for anxiety, stress, and many day-to-day challenges by breaking problems into manageable tasks.

Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple, present-moment skills such as breathing and body awareness to reduce reactivity. These tools are useful for stress, trauma reactions, sleep problems, and cravings related to addiction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan over time.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, let people use apps and digital tools between meetings, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to an online setting so progress continues between sessions.
