About Tricia

Tricia Johnson is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) based in Minnesota. She offers steady, practical support for people navigating family strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, and mood struggles like anxiety and depression. Her style is direct and compassionate, helping people take realistic steps toward better days.

She draws on nine years of experience in different clinical settings to tailor care to each person. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, achievable changes. Tricia encourages honest conversation about feelings and behaviors and works with clients to try strategies that make daily life easier.

Her approach blends methods that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new skills, and strengthen important relationships. That mix can be useful for managing stress, grief, self-esteem, ADHD-related struggles, and coping with life changes including responses to natural or human-caused disasters. She pays attention to patterns that keep people stuck and looks for practical ways to shift them.

Tricia emphasizes collaboration and respect. She meets clients where they are and supports them without judgment. Progress is paced to each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

For those considering care, she asks for a short matching questionnaire to start. From there, scheduling is arranged based on therapist availability and the subscription model used for sessions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting driven by them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about, which is useful after big changes or trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger. These tools can help people regain routine and coping after stressful events.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods match their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That collaboration means sessions can mix approaches and change over time as progress is made.

Confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments are more practical. It also supports continuity of care after disruptions caused by disasters or other life changes. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and skill practice to work well in remote sessions, helping people apply strategies between meetings and track progress over time.
