About Tricia

Tricia Johnson is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) who guides people through relationship and emotional challenges using a compassionate, acceptance-centered approach.

Background and approach

With nine years of professional experience in Minnesota, she focuses on concerns such as family conflicts, trauma and abuse, parenting difficulties, anger, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, grief, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Her work integrates evidence-based methods to help clients build practical skills and clearer perspectives.

She creates an atmosphere where clients can speak openly about difficult feelings without fear of judgment, and she pairs empathy with structured tools to support lasting change. Tricia draws on therapies like cognitive behavioral strategies and acceptance-based practices to address immediate distress and to help clients commit to values-driven action.

She also uses attachment-informed and emotion-focused techniques when relationships and early patterns are central to the work. Clients can expect a collaborative stance that balances encouragement with concrete skills practice.

Tricia supports goal-setting and steady progress while respecting each person’s pace, aiming to help them move toward a fuller, more manageable life.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages clients to clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise; it is helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new skills to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and to improve coping. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relationship patterns and early bonds to help people understand how past attachments shape current interactions and emotional responses.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts strategies over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure the treatment plan aligns with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or manage care from different locations. These formats support continuity of care and allow therapists to use the same evidence-based techniques through conversation, guided exercises, and between-session practice, while accommodating client comfort and access.
