About Tressa
Tressa Bloom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 27 years of clinical experience. She has a long academic history in psychology, including an associate degree, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, two master’s degrees in psychology, and advanced PhD studies all but dissertation. Tressa works with a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, parenting, ADHD, and more.
She adapts her approach to the person in front of her. That may mean using client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, psychodynamic reflection, or solution-focused steps. She describes therapy as a joint process where decisions about treatment are discussed and agreed on together. Short-term goals and longer work are both considered based on what the person needs.
Tressa has experience across age groups, and her background includes work with children as young as five, adolescents, and adults. She mentions working with relationship and family concerns, grief, eating and body image issues, and career or life-change stressors. Additional areas she lists include compassion fatigue, bipolar concerns, and challenges related to neurodiversity.
In session she emphasizes building a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship first. That relationship guides which interventions are tried and when the plan should shift. Clients can expect straightforward discussion about goals, progress, and next steps throughout their work together.
Sessions are framed as collaborative problem solving rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol. Practical skills, clearer thinking about patterns, and targeted conversations are used to address everyday problems like snapping at loved ones, simmering resentment, or sudden bursts of anger. She offers services in English and practices in Florida.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. The therapist reflects what she hears and helps the client clarify goals and priorities, which can be useful for anger, relationship stress, or low self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior. It breaks problems into manageable steps, teaches practical skills, and helps people test out different ways of responding to anger or anxiety.
Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to recurring patterns and early influences. It can help people see how past experiences shape present reactions and habits, including repeated conflict or control issues.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the practical realities of life. Plans can change as new information emerges and progress is tracked.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow conversations without traveling to an office. These practical benefits often help people keep steady work on things like anger management, communication skills, and stress reduction.
