About Tressa
Tressa Bloom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 27 years of clinical experience. She has a long academic background in psychology, including multiple master’s degrees and advanced PhD studies. She draws on decades in the field to guide people through stressful and painful times.
Her work often begins by listening closely to what feels most urgent. She values a collaborative relationship where goals and next steps are decided together.
How Tressa works
Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can be changed to make daily life feel more manageable. She uses a blend of approaches chosen to fit each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Client-Centered Therapy creates a space where concerns can be named and understood. Psychodynamic ideas help uncover patterns from the past that still affect present choices. Solution-Focused techniques help identify small, practical steps toward relief.
Tressa has experience with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, ADHD, bipolar, and issues around identity and sexuality. She also addresses anger, eating and body image, work and career strain, and parenting stress. People who prefer a calm, straightforward approach tend to do well with her.
She encourages openness, mutual decision-making, and steady progress. Sessions are offered in English and take place from Florida.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist creates space to name feelings and priorities so people can make choices that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to change them. Those exercises can include simple homework and real-world practice between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through which methods make sense based on the person’s concerns, goals, and what feels most comfortable. Plans can change over time as new issues come up or as progress is made, and decisions are made jointly.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates, ask brief questions, or have ongoing support without scheduling a full session. These formats help fit therapy into busy schedules and different rhythms of life.
