About Tricia
Tricia Johnson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, licensed in Minnesota with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, and related issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. Tricia also lists ADHD and a range of relationship and attachment issues among her focus areas.
Tricia approaches sessions in a straightforward way. She listens to what is happening at home and asks practical questions about relationships and routines. She helps people talk through parenting strains and recurring conflict, and she offers strategies for managing strong emotions like anger and anxiety.
Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. That means sessions can include noticing what matters to a person, looking at patterns of thinking and behavior, and practicing skills to regulate emotions and improve communication.
People who come because of past trauma or abuse will find a focus on safety and steady pacing. For those dealing with life transitions or grief, sessions aim to make daily routines and coping more manageable. Tricia also addresses issues tied to adoption, foster care, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and attachment questions.
She works in Minnesota and conducts sessions in English. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session using the See online therapy options button. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time and pricing varies by location.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses exercises to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or depression. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and how early connections influence current reactions, which can be useful for parenting stress and family conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and work with you to try methods that fit your situation. That collaborative planning may include mixing elements from more than one approach to address emotion regulation, communication, or trauma-related concerns.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or reduce travel time. It also lets people practice new skills in real-life routines and bring concrete family issues into session for direct problem solving.
