About Tristine
Tristine Barry is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, addictions, relationship strain, ADHD, trauma, chronic pain, and related concerns. She also supports those dealing with grief, mood disorders, self-esteem struggles, and codependency-related patterns.
Barry focuses on strengths and practical skills. Sessions tend to mix talking with learning somatic coping techniques such as mindfulness, breath work, and tapping. She also uses cognitive-behavioral and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values.
Her style is steady and attentive. She listens, offers guidance, and teaches concrete tools to manage intense feelings and bodily reactions. This includes basic grounding and breath-based practices aimed at reducing overwhelm and improving day-to-day functioning.
She integrates technology and apps to support skills practice between visits. That may include simple exercises to track mood, practice mindfulness, or reinforce behavior changes learned in sessions. The goal is to make new habits easier to use in everyday life.
People often come when they are tired of putting others first, unable to say no, or living around someone else’s moods or substance issues. Barry helps people notice those patterns, set clearer boundaries, and build steadier routines that protect mental and physical energy.
How sessions work
How ACT, CBT and Mindfulness fit into online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose values-based actions. It is useful when someone wants to stop avoiding emotions and start living in ways that matter to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-life experiments. It is practical for anxiety, mood struggles, and changing habits that keep problems going.
Mindfulness approaches teach simple attention and body-awareness exercises. These practices can reduce reactivity, improve sleep, and make it easier to use coping skills when stress rises.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first based on goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That choice can shift over time as needs change.
The original biography does not specify session formats. Before booking, confirm which online or in-person options are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel, or allow short check-ins when needed. They also make it simple to practice skills with apps and digital tools between meetings.
