About Tristine
Tristine Barry is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, stress, addictions, relationship strain, grief, and other life changes. Tristine also helps people dealing with sleep and eating problems, ADHD, bipolar and depressive symptoms, and compassion fatigue.
She focuses on a person’s strengths and offers practical, skill-based support. Sessions often include mindfulness skills, breathing and body-centered coping techniques, and cognitive strategies to change unhelpful thinking. Tristine uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, and motivational interviewing to help clients make concrete changes.
Her style is steady and interactive. She listens, gives clear guidance, and teaches resilience skills such as grounding, gentle movement, and structured thought work. Technology and apps may be suggested to support practice between sessions and track progress.
Tristine also addresses family-related concerns such as blended family issues, family-of-origin patterns, communication problems, caregiver stress, and divorce or separation matters. She helps individuals sort through emotional patterns connected to attachment, abandonment, and control issues.
People who want practical tools to manage mood, reduce reactivity, or rebuild routines will find sessions oriented toward skills practice and problem solving. The focus is on workable steps you can try between meetings. Tristine works in English and practices in Florida as an LMHC.
How sessions work
How ACT, CBT and Mindfulness inform online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on what matters to you and small actions that match your values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete tools to shift those patterns for mood and anxiety. Mindfulness-based work teaches simple present-moment skills such as breathing, body awareness, and grounding to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and concentration.Finding the right approach is something to figure out together. The therapist will talk about your goals, try specific techniques, and adjust what you practice based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to choose a mix of techniques that fit your daily life and preferences.
The biography mentions using technology, apps, and online resources to support work between sessions but does not specify formats. Confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let someone use audio-only or lower-bandwidth options if that suits them better. Licensed professionals often suggest specific home practices and apps to reinforce skills learned in sessions and to track small changes over time.
