Tyrina Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who guides people through recovery from trauma, dual diagnosis, and challenges with coping. She approaches therapy as a collaborative partnership, welcoming questions and doubts while offering motivation and gentle challenge to help clients reach their goals.

This combination allows her to address symptoms, build practical skills, and explore personal narratives in ways that fit the client’s needs. Tyrina earned her education at Lynn University in Boca Raton and Barry University in Miami Shores, Florida, and holds the credential LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

She works with clients on issues such as substance concerns, mood disorders, stress, relationship and family difficulties, career transitions, and challenges with self-esteem and purpose. Tyrina aims to support people in moving toward greater stability and the sense of freedom from whatever is limiting their peace.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Tyrina Phillips uses approaches that combine practical skill-building with exploration of personal meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more effective strategies - this approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding techniques that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation, which is useful for trauma responses and ongoing mood difficulties. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their goals and strengthen internal motivation for change, making it a good fit for addressing addictions, ambivalence about treatment, and lifestyle shifts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tyrina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts interventions as progress unfolds. The aim is to find strategies that feel relevant and sustainable for the individual.

Online therapy with Tyrina can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or work and to continue care through transitions and life changes.
