About Tristine
Tristine Barry is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are facing anxiety, stress, addictions, relationship concerns, ADHD, grief, depression, and family of origin issues. Tristine also helps people dealing with career changes, sleep and eating concerns, anger, and chronic pain or illness.
Her approach centers on practical, evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Client-Centered Therapy is part of how she listens and structures sessions so the client's goals guide the work.
Tristine teaches simple mind-body coping skills, such as mindfulness and somatic practices, to reduce reactivity and build resilience. Motivational Interviewing appears in her work when people want support making changes around substances, habits, or health behaviors. Sessions include discussion, skill practice, and short exercises to try between meetings.
She makes space for people who are processing family of origin concerns, attachment difficulties, abandonment worries, and blended family or caregiving stress. The focus is on noticing how early roles and expectations show up now and on practical steps to shift those patterns.
Tristine uses technology and apps as part of treatment when helpful and encourages regular check-ins about what is working. She practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Tristine uses ACT, CBT and client-centered work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take meaningful action based on personal values rather than getting stuck in avoidance. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and patterns connected to family of origin issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaching concrete skills to change them. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and gives space for their perspective to shape the session.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Tristine will discuss these methods with each client and adjust what she uses based on the person’s goals, preferences, and what shows progress in early sessions. That conversation helps decide whether more skills practice, values work, or reflective discussion will be most useful.
The profile notes that she uses technology and apps as part of care. Exact session formats are not listed here, so confirm current session options before booking. Practically, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use digital tools recommended by the therapist between meetings.
