About Tressa

Tressa Bloom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 27 years of clinical experience. She has a long educational background in psychology, including graduate study up to PhD coursework, and she has worked with a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and codependency.

She tends to match her approach to what each person brings to sessions. That can mean using client-centered listening, practical cognitive-behavioral tools, psychodynamic discussion of patterns, or brief solution-focused steps. She stresses making treatment decisions together with the person in therapy rather than imposing a single method.

In sessions she focuses on concrete problems people report - trouble setting boundaries, repeated people-pleasing, persistent worry, or overwhelming grief. Conversations aim to uncover habits and patterns and to try realistic alternatives that fit daily life. She writes that openness and collaboration guide how therapy changes over time.

She has experience across the life span and notes work with children, teens, and adults. That range informs her ability to notice long-running patterns that often begin in earlier relationships or family roles. She also lists several specific areas she addresses, including ADHD, bipolar concerns, and issues around identity and sexual expression.

People who prefer to talk through real, immediate problems and also look at deeper personal patterns may find this approach useful. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what someone is saying. It helps when a person needs to feel heard and to clarify their own goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and difficulties that respond to step-by-step practice. Psychodynamic work pays attention to recurring relationship patterns and early experiences that shape current behavior and can help when someone wants to understand why they repeat certain choices.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and adjust methods based on the person's goals, life situation, and what feels most helpful. Decisions about approach are made collaboratively rather than fixed at the start.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins during a workday. They also let people try different ways of working with a therapist and then decide which approach and format suit them best.
