About Tricia

Tricia Johnson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota with nine years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, stress, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD, and codependency concerns. Tricia focuses on helping people who find themselves putting others first or struggling to set boundaries.

She uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies in sessions. Tricia listens to how problems show up day to day and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Together they identify small, manageable changes to test out between meetings.

Her background includes a range of settings where she supported people through life transitions and difficult events. Tricia draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide sessions. She also uses skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered techniques when helpful.

In sessions she pays attention to how relationships and past experiences shape current behavior and feelings. Work might include learning skills for emotion regulation, practicing clearer communication, and building steadier boundaries. Tricia encourages practical tools that fit into everyday routines.

Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and she is not currently taking international clients.

How sessions work

How Tricia blends approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting pushed around by them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps that match those values, which can help with codependency patterns and stuck relationship habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. That approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and anger by building new ways to respond to triggers. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can be useful when trust, closeness, or repeated relationship difficulties are central concerns.

Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will listen to the issues, try out methods that fit the client's goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. Sessions can combine techniques so that practical skills work alongside exploring relationship patterns.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find remote sessions let them practice new skills in their everyday routines and keep momentum between meetings.
