About Patricia
Patricia (Trisha) Blackburn is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) and a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York with 20 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief and loss, parenting concerns, and depression, and also supports people dealing with trauma, relationship strain, addictions, and life transitions.
Trisha centers conversations on what each person already knows about their life. She works in a client-centered way, listening for strengths and practical steps a person can try between sessions. Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on everyday problems rather than abstract ideas.
Her approach often brings mindfulness into the work. That can look like short grounding exercises, attention to breathing, or simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them. These tools are offered as options to help with stress, sleep, and impulse control.
People who reach out for parenting help are supported around common struggles - sleep, feeding, postpartum mood, and managing the daily load. Trisha also assists with caregiver stress and aging-related concerns, and she addresses communication problems and financial stress as they affect family life.
She works in English from New York. Starting therapy with her begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the person's perspective and building on their strengths. In practice this means the therapist asks about daily routines, what is going well, and what small changes might help. This approach is useful for stress, depression, and relationship or parenting concerns.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them. Sessions might include brief attention exercises or guided breath awareness to help with anxiety, sleep problems, and emotional overwhelm.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which exercises and conversation styles fit their goals and lifestyle. This is a practical process that can shift over time based on what helps most.
The biography does not specify online session formats, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It also lets people try mindfulness practices and skill-building in the settings where they live and parent, then discuss what did or did not work at the next appointment.
