About Tricia
Tricia Smith-Peck is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with 25 years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, LGBTQ+ concerns, and compassion fatigue, and she lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.
Her approach emphasizes clear conversation and practical steps. She encourages people to talk about what matters most and to notice small changes that make daily life easier. Sessions move at a steady pace and aim to clarify problems and options rather than rely on jargon.
Tricia listens for patterns that get in the way of relationships, work, and confidence. She works with issues such as communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose. Workplace stress and women’s issues are also areas she often addresses.
Over the years she has supported clients through times of low energy, drifting motivation, and burnout related to caregiving or helping professions. In sessions she focuses on helping people restore energy and rebuild routines that feel manageable.
Her style is direct and pragmatic. She helps people name one or two concrete goals and then tries small, achievable steps toward them. Tricia asks about progress each week and adjusts the plan when something isn’t working.
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Tricia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach emphasizes breaking larger problems into small, manageable steps and testing what works in everyday life; this helps when anxiety or low motivation gets in the way. Another approach concentrates on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying different ways of thinking and responding; this can be helpful for social anxiety and recurring worry.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That means trying something, reviewing how it went, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to one fixed method.
Because the original biography does not specify session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care while working around work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
