About Tricia
Tricia Johnson is a LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Minnesota with nine years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with family issues, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. She also works with people managing ADHD, grief, stress, and life transitions.
Tricia uses straightforward, person-focused methods to talk through what is happening now and how it connects to earlier relationships. Her work emphasizes practical skills and clearer thinking so people can make different choices in difficult moments. She leans on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Attachment-based ideas are part of her practice when family patterns and early relationships shape current problems. She pays attention to how roles, expectations, and closeness learned in childhood affect adult relationships and parenting. Sessions also draw on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotions and improving regulation.
Her nine years in clinical roles have included varied settings and types of client concerns. Tricia focuses on helping people recognize repeated patterns and try new ways of relating. She encourages small, practical changes that reduce confusion and repeated conflict.
People who come for help can expect a direct, respectful approach that combines talking, skills practice, and planning. To begin, prospective clients use the site’s matching steps to schedule a first session and outline their goals.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It helps when old patterns or anxious thinking get in the way of living the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches clear strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early family relationships shape expectations and reactions in adult life, making it useful for family of origin concerns and parenting struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. Sessions can blend techniques so people learn skills, test new behaviors, and reframe recurring patterns together with the clinician.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel, or allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals commonly use therapeutic exercises, skills practice, and planning in virtual sessions to help people manage emotions and change repeated family patterns.
