About Tyrina

Tyrina Phillips, LCSW, offers a straightforward, person-centered approach to therapy. She welcomes questions and doubts about starting therapy and emphasizes collaboration. Tyrina aims to motivate and challenge clients as they work toward change. She brings ten years of clinical experience to sessions in Florida.

Tyrina often helps people who are coping with trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, and major life transitions. She also supports those facing compassion fatigue, relationship strain, caregiving and aging concerns, and struggles with purpose or isolation. Her background includes substantial work with people who have dual diagnosis and chronic coping difficulties.

Her style combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Client-Centered and Mindfulness approaches. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy techniques, shaping each treatment plan to the person in front of her. Tyrina describes therapy as a partnership where goals and steps are set together.

She trained at Lynn University in Boca Raton and Barry University in Miami Shores, Florida, and holds the credential Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW. Tyrina brings practical skills aimed at helping people develop better coping tools and make concrete changes in daily life.

People who choose her work can expect direct conversation, goal-focused planning, and attention to how trauma has affected daily functioning. She encourages small, measurable steps that build toward longer term relief and clearer direction.

Using practical approaches in online therapy

Tyrina commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical ways to change behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to what matters most to the person, helping them set their own goals and pace.

Mindfulness Therapy is another element she brings in. It teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and to help people respond rather than react to difficult feelings. These approaches are used together to build personalized plans and concrete coping skills.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences. Sessions are adjusted over time as needs and progress become clearer.
