Tristine Barry is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 11 years of clinical experience addressing a wide range of concerns. She has worked with people facing addictions, anxiety and stress-related conditions, relationship and family challenges, career difficulties, panic, ADHD, emotional and physical trauma, chronic pain, grief, mood disorders, and self-esteem issues. Tristine emphasizes a strengths-based, solution-oriented approach that is tailored to each person’s needs and goals.

With a calm presence, attentive listening, and an intuitive style, she offers individualized care that blends guidance, validation, and empowerment. She teaches resilience through mind-body coping skills such as polyvagal techniques, tapping, and mindfulness, and integrates evidence-based therapies including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Her practice often incorporates technology, apps, and online resources to support learning and change beyond sessions.

Tristine aims to partner with clients as they navigate life transitions and healing, offering practical tools and encouragement along the way. Those who are ready to take a step toward renewed hope can expect a supportive, goal-focused collaboration designed to help them move toward the life they want.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches with Online Care

Tristine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify what matters most and build actions that align with those values. ACT combines acceptance strategies and mindfulness with practical steps to reduce avoidance and support living with purpose, which can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a hands-on approach that identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, stress management, and problematic habits by offering concrete tools and structured practice.

Client-Centered Therapy is another pillar of her practice, providing a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients are met with empathy and respect. This approach supports self-exploration, emotional processing, and building self-esteem, making it a useful complement to skills-based work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tristine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Tristine offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and combine real-time sessions with digital tools and apps to reinforce learning between meetings.
