Tristine Barry

Tristine Barry is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She helps people manage anxiety, stress, addictions, and life transitions in a calm, practical way. Her approach centers on strengths and real skills people can use between sessions.

She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and take action toward meaningful values. Client-centered methods shape sessions so people feel heard and guided rather than lectured. Tristine also uses mindfulness and somatic practices to help regulate the body’s response to stress.

Her practice emphasizes teaching specific coping tools. Examples include breath work, grounding strategies, and brief somatic exercises such as polyvagal-informed techniques and tapping. These are presented so people can try them at home when stress or panic arise.

Tristine works with concerns that range from grief and trauma to relationship strain, career stress, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and sleep or eating challenges. She also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, chronic pain, and family of origin issues. Her aim is practical resilience rather than abstract theory.

Clients can expect an empowering style that blends validation with clear steps forward. She uses technology and apps to extend the work between meetings. If someone is ready to change, Tristine offers active support and encouragement along the way.

Approach and what online work looks like

Tristine commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them, accept difficult thoughts, and take steps toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to change how someone feels.

She also integrates client-centered listening and mindfulness practices to support emotional regulation and present-moment awareness. Together these approaches are used to tailor sessions to each person’s needs so the work feels collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and try different methods to find what fits best for the client.

Before booking, confirm the current session options with the service, since specific online formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow use of digital tools and apps between meetings. Some people find shorter check-ins or phone-based conversations easier on certain days, while others prefer longer video conversations when they want fuller interaction. The therapist will help match the practical format to the client’s schedule and goals.
