About Trisha
Trisha Smith-Gomes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 15 years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, anger, low self-esteem, and ADHD. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use right away to ease daily strain and improve relationships.
Trisha listens for what matters most and then helps identify patterns that keep problems repeating. She avoids one-size-fits-all fixes and instead helps people try different strategies to see what fits. That might mean learning ways to notice early signs of anger, building short routines to reduce overwhelm, or sharpening communication for tense conversations.
Her work emphasizes clear tools and real-world practice. People leave sessions with concrete techniques to try between meetings and with ideas for small changes that add up. Trisha pays attention to strengths so clients can use what already works while addressing what gets in the way.
She has supported people dealing with caregiver strain, impulsivity, isolation, social anxiety, workplace stress, and questions about purpose and self-love. Trisha also has experience with young adult issues and helping neurodivergent individuals, including those on the autism spectrum. Her background includes many years of face-to-face clinical social work in community settings across Florida.
Sessions move at a pace the client is comfortable with. Trisha encourages honest talk and practical experimentation so people can test new ways of handling frustration, conflict, and daily pressure without pressure to change overnight.
How sessions work
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Trisha works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on observable skills and day-to-day behavior. One common approach involves skills training for emotional regulation - learning to notice triggers, pause before reacting, and use short tools to calm down. This helps with anger, impulsivity, and workplace frustrations.Another frequent method is behavioral activation and problem-focused planning. That means breaking big problems into small steps, trying manageable changes, and tracking what helps. This approach is useful for stress, low mood, and getting unstuck after life changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Trisha collaborates with each person to test methods that fit their symptoms, goals, and lifestyle. She reviews what works, adjusts techniques, and helps clients practice strategies between sessions so progress is practical and measurable.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or school by removing travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth options when helpful. These practical benefits help maintain consistency without promising a particular setup.
