About Tristine
Tristine Barry is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida. She brings 11 years of clinical experience and a calm, steady presence to sessions. Tristine focuses on practical help for everyday struggles so people can feel more capable at home and work.
She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and ADHD-related challenges. She also supports those facing addictions, grief, trauma, chronic pain, sleep problems, and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
Relationship and communication concerns, career stress, and caregiver strain are part of her regular work too. Her style is interactive and down-to-earth. Tristine listens closely, offers validation, and teaches coping skills you can try between sessions.
She uses mindfulness, breathing and body-based tools alongside talk therapy to reduce reactivity and build steadiness. Tristine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and take small, doable steps toward their values. Motivational interviewing is part of how she supports people making changes, especially around substance use and habits.
Sessions may include practical routines, simple exercises, and technology-based resources to reinforce progress. People who want clear tools and steady encouragement often appreciate her approach. To begin, follow the site steps to match and schedule a first appointment.
Evidence-informed approaches available online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention and grounding exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus for day-to-day challenges.Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they adjust methods as needed so sessions feel useful and relevant to the client's life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people connect face-to-face when more interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions, making care easier to fit into a busy schedule.
