About Tricia
Tricia Best helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, and low self-esteem. She also offers coaching around motivation and confidence. Her approach is practical and steady, aimed at helping people take small steps toward change.
She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in New Jersey with 12 years of experience. Tricia adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's situation instead of using a one-size-fits-all method.
How Tricia works
She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions. Sessions focus on clear goals and realistic actions. Tricia works on communication skills, improving body image, and addressing guilt or shame that gets in the way.
She also helps people process relationship transitions like divorce and separation. She supports work on life direction and money-related stress, and addresses mood difficulties and post-traumatic stress when those concerns arise. Tricia can talk with people about sexuality, intimacy, pregnancy and childbirth related stress, and struggles with isolation or loneliness.
Tricia aims to empower clients to make choices that match their values. She uses plain language and straightforward strategies so people can try things between sessions. The tone in her practice is encouraging and nonjudgmental, with a focus on practical steps toward a more satisfying life.

Online support options
Online approaches that address relationships and stress
Tricia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. One common approach focuses on building practical skills for managing anxiety and stress through short, doable strategies that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. This approach helps when worry or tension makes it hard to work, sleep, or connect with others.Another approach centers on improving communication and intimacy by teaching specific ways to express needs and listen without blame. These techniques aim to reduce repeated conflict and help people feel more connected and understood in close relationships.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Tricia will collaborate with each person to choose which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts plans over time so the process stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face when that helps. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Text and chat options allow brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or support between longer sessions, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
