About Tristine

Tristine Barry, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida, has 11 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, mood disorders, and issues like eating and sleeping difficulties. She describes her approach as strength-focused and practical, using tools chosen for each person's needs.

Barry emphasizes hands-on coping skills that connect the body and mind. She teaches somatic techniques such as breathing and tapping alongside mindfulness exercises. She also uses cognitive-behavioral methods and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice habits of thought and practice different ways of responding.

Sessions include active teaching and skill practice. Barry names resilience-building and concrete strategies as central goals. She incorporates motivational interviewing to support changes related to addiction, career moves, or lifestyle shifts.

Her work addresses specific life situations like chronic pain, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and family of origin patterns. She also helps people facing abandonment, control struggles, body image concerns, and communication problems. Depression, bipolar symptoms, anger, and compassion fatigue are listed among her focus areas.

Barry mentions using technology, apps, and online resources as part of treatment to reinforce skills between sessions. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort to find workable solutions and strengthen coping. People who want to start complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and practicing values-based actions. It can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns that get in the way of daily goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating issues. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build awareness, which supports stress, trauma symptoms, and coping with chronic pain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on presenting problems, goals, and personal preferences. That shared decision guides what skills and exercises are emphasized.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, use apps and digital tools between sessions, and practice skills in everyday settings. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video if those options are offered. Ask about specific session formats when you sign up so arrangements match your needs.
