About Tristine
Tristine Barry is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, career strain, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief, sleep and eating issues, and anger. Sessions are aimed at practical coping and skill building rather than labels or promises of quick fixes.
Her style emphasizes clear, usable tools rather than abstract talk. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different actions. Mindfulness and client-centered work are used to slow reactions and increase awareness in the moment.
Barry also teaches somatic, mind-body coping skills such as paced breathing, grounding, and tapping to reduce intense physical responses. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit when people are working through change related to substance use, habits, or life transitions. She describes the work as collaborative and practical, with focuses on resilience and everyday functioning.
She has experience addressing chronic pain and trauma alongside mood and anxiety concerns, and she integrates technology and apps when those tools are helpful for practice between sessions. Sessions target concrete skills - managing anger outbursts, pacing work stress, improving sleep, or limiting compulsive behaviors.
People looking for structured, skill-focused therapy in Florida will find an approach that combines talk therapy with hands-on coping techniques. To begin, follow the practice's signposting to view online therapy options and complete the initial matching steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It combines present-moment awareness with clear values-based goals to guide small behavioral changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing different behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness-based techniques teach present-moment attention and simple exercises to reduce reactivity and ease physical tension.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress is tracked and new issues come up.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list explicit online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, use apps or digital tools between meetings, and practice skills in real-life settings. Short check-ins, guided exercises, and homework tools are commonly used to keep momentum between sessions and help translate skills into everyday situations.
