About Tricia
Tricia Johnson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota with nine years of professional experience. She works with people facing family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, anxiety, stress, depression, grief, ADHD, and related challenges. Sessions focus on practical steps for coping and clearer communication.
Tricia uses evidence-informed methods to help people notice patterns that cause pain and try small changes that feel doable. She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to break unhelpful thoughts and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and next steps. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns and early losses affect current life.
In typical sessions she listens to what is most troubling and works with the person to set short-term goals. She offers skills for managing strong emotions and for handling difficult conversations with others. Work can include pacing exposure to feared situations, practicing new responses, and building more reliable daily routines.
Her background includes clinical work across different settings and with people at varying life stages. That experience informs a practical focus on what helps most in day-to-day life. Tricia explains options clearly and helps people choose approaches that match their needs.
People who come for support can expect straightforward discussion of next steps and homework to try between sessions. The aim is manageable change rather than big leaps, with ongoing adjustment based on what is working.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Tricia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that fit remote work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced in session and as exercises between meetings. ACT encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values, helping people take small steps toward what matters most.Finding the right approach is part of beginning work together. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that match those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and feedback guide the plan.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekly routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they need them most, and then discuss what worked or felt difficult in the next meeting.
