About Tressa

Tressa Bloom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 27 years of experience. She has an extensive academic background including an Associate in Applied Science, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, two Master of Arts degrees in psychology, and advanced PhD studies all but dissertation. Tressa lists a wide range of concerns she addresses, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, depression, and more.

Her approach adapts to each person's situation. She uses different methods as needs change and discusses treatment choices with the person in therapy. Tressa favors open conversation about goals and the next steps rather than a fixed plan decided only by the clinician.

Sessions focus on practical work and understanding behavior. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and actions, and Psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. Solution-Focused tools are used for setting small, reachable goals.

Tressa has decades of experience helping people manage life shifts such as grief, parenting strain, career change, and compassion fatigue. She also lists areas like ADHD, bipolar, body image, attachment issues, and concerns related to kink and alternative sexual cultures.

People who want clear discussion, flexible methods, and joint decision making are a good fit for her style. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so treatment can be discussed and agreed on.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and reflection. The therapist prioritizes understanding a person's perspective and helps them clarify goals and feelings. This approach is useful when someone needs a nonjudgmental place to talk through anger, relationship strain, or low self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot patterns that lead to angry reactions and practice different responses. CBT is often practical and goal-oriented, helpful for stress, anxiety, and anger management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Decisions about methods and steps are made together so sessions match the person's needs.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the exact session options offered so you can pick what fits your day and comfort level.
