About Tricia
Tricia Johnson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, practicing in Minnesota with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and ADHD. Her work emphasizes straightforward, practical conversation about what is happening now and what a person wants to change.
She uses several evidence-based approaches to guide sessions, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Those methods help with managing strong emotions, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and building skills for tolerating distress. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods also shape how she attends to relationships and personal history.
In session she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. Then she and the client set clear, doable goals. Sessions include skill practice, checking how techniques worked in daily life, and adjusting plans as needed.
Tricia works with concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties, codependency, communication and control problems, body image, caregiver stress, and other related topics. She also supports clients facing aging and geriatric questions, autism spectrum issues, and personality-related challenges.
Sessions are provided in English and are delivered from her Minnesota practice. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches fit into online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger tied to frustration, stress, or feelings of injustice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is practical for managing triggers, correcting distorted thoughts, and testing new ways of responding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the client’s goals, life situation, and preferences and then try methods that make sense together. That collaboration includes checking in on what helps and changing direction if needed.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to appointments. Therapists often use skill practice, homework, and real-world experiments in sessions, which translates well to remote meetings when that format is available.
