About Tristine
Tristine Barry is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, addictions, career concerns, ADHD, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and chronic pain, and related issues like grief and low self-esteem.
She uses approaches that help people manage symptoms and build practical skills. Sessions often focus on learning breathing and body-based coping tools, managing thoughts and behaviors, and paying attention to the present moment. Techniques come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and a client-centered style.
Her style emphasizes active listening and step-by-step guidance. She teaches somatic coping skills such as tapping and polyvagal-informed exercises alongside mindfulness practices. Clients can expect concrete strategies for stress, panic, and addictive patterns rather than abstract theory.
She also integrates tech support such as apps and online resources when useful. That can include tools to track progress, practice skills between sessions, and support behavior change. This is aimed at making therapy practical and applicable to daily life.
Tristine frames treatment around strengths and problem-solving. She helps people try specific tools, notice what works, and adjust plans as needed. People in Florida who read this will know she holds the LMHC credential and has over a decade of practice experience.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It uses present-moment awareness and practical exercises to reduce getting stuck in avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to ease anxiety and change habits. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing skills that reduce reactivity and help with panic or stress.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques to try first, based on the client's goals, symptoms, and what feels workable day to day. That process can include trying a skill in one session and adapting it at the next.
The biography mentions use of technology, apps, and online resources as part of treatment, but does not list specific session formats. Confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, practice skills between meetings using apps, or choose shorter check-ins when time is limited. Licensed professionals can use these tools to support regular skill practice and real-world behavior change without promising particular outcomes.
