About Tristine
Tristine Barry is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 11 years of experience. She focuses on practical therapy that helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, mood concerns, and life changes. Her style is calm and direct, offering clear tools people can use between sessions.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices to help people notice what matters and take manageable steps forward.
How Tristine works
Sessions often include learning coping skills for panic, sleep problems, anger, and emotional overwhelm. Tristine also supports people facing grief, trauma, chronic pain, and caregiver stress. Her sessions tend to be interactive and skills-focused.
Clients can expect guidance in building resilience, practicing grounding exercises, and trying small behavior changes. Motivational strategies are used when people feel stuck or uncertain about change. Tristine brings a listening approach that validates experience while offering practical next steps.
She incorporates mind-body methods such as simple breathing, tapping, and movement-based grounding to reduce physiological arousal. Technology and apps are sometimes used to reinforce progress between meetings. People come for help with relationships, work stress, addiction concerns, attention differences, and self-esteem.
Tristine aims to partner with each person, tailoring therapy to their priorities and pace. She works in English and practices in Florida as an LMHC.

Online support options
Therapeutic tools you can use online
Tristine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their values and take small committed steps toward them. ACT mixes simple mindfulness with practical action plans to address anxiety, depression, and life transitions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, sleep problems, and mood shifts by teaching concrete skills and short experiments between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt techniques over time. This collaboration helps shape a plan that fits a person’s daily life and changing needs.
Online therapy lets people fit sessions into busy schedules. Tristine offers video calls for full visual interaction, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text messaging for quick check-ins or shorter touchpoints. These options allow for steady progress, practice of skills between meetings, and flexibility when life is unpredictable.
