Tyrina Phillips, LCSW

Tyrina Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy. She centers sessions on what matters to each person and works side by side with them to set goals. Tyrina has ten years of experience and brings steady support for people facing addiction and mood challenges.

She uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize each person's perspective and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps her clients notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques are woven in to build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.

Most of Tyrina’s work has involved people with dual diagnosis, trauma, and difficulties with coping skills. She develops a personalized plan for every person, matching strategies to the issues they bring. Sessions typically include motivation, practical skill-building, and trauma-aware care.

Tyrina’s background includes study at Lynn University of Boca Raton and Barry University in Miami Shores, Florida. That educational path informs her clinical approach while she continues to refine how she helps people find balance.

People come to Tyrina for help with anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, and relationship strain. She also supports those managing substance use concerns and the emotional fallout of trauma. Her aim is to help people move toward greater calm and clearer choices.

How Tyrina Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online

Tyrina commonly combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping goals around each person's values and experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them.

She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy to help people build awareness of their thoughts and bodily reactions. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, stress, and for managing urges related to substance use. These approaches are aimed at clear, usable tools rather than abstract theory.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Tyrina will discuss your history, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit your needs. Together you can adjust the plan if something isn’t working or if priorities change.

Confirm the online session formats available before booking, as current options are listed during scheduling. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by saving commute time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or making it simpler to join from a quieter location. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your schedule and routine.
