About Trisha
Trisha Smith-Gomes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience based in Florida. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, and ADHD. Trisha focuses on practical ways to manage emotions and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She listens to what is happening now, then helps identify patterns that make problems worse. Sessions include developing coping strategies, practicing communication skills, and learning ways to manage impulses and strong feelings.
Trisha has a background supporting people with caregiver stress, workplace issues, and social anxiety. She also works with young adults and those feeling isolated or unsure about life purpose. Her experience includes helping people with self-love, managing resentment, and addressing impulsivity.
In sessions she encourages small, usable steps. That might mean short behavioral experiments between meetings, practicing a new phrase for a difficult conversation, or creating a simple plan to reduce daily stress. The focus is on what can change now, not on long lists of theory.
Trisha values direct communication and steady progress. She works at a pace clients choose and aims to help them build tools they can use outside sessions. People who want clear, practical strategies for handling anger and everyday stress often find her style useful.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Trisha works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and behavior changes. One approach involves learning practical coping skills to manage intense emotions and reduce reactivity. These skills help with anger, stress, and impulsivity by giving immediate tools to use when tension rises. Another common technique centers on communication and problem-solving practice. This involves rehearsing phrases, setting boundaries, and breaking down difficult conversations into small steps. It can help with parenting conflicts, workplace difficulties, and relationship tension. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Trisha will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life. She checks in about what is working and adjusts plans over time so the work stays relevant and doable. If you plan to try online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to practice skills in real-life settings between meetings, which can speed up learning and help transfer new habits into day-to-day life.Areas of expertise
