Tressa Bloom

Tressa Bloom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 27 years of experience. She has a long history of study in psychology, including an Associate in Applied Science, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Master of Arts in Community/Clinical Psychology, a Master of Arts in General Psychology, and advanced PhD coursework that reached all but dissertation. She practices in Florida and brings a steady, experienced presence to sessions.

Her approach adapts to each person’s needs. Tressa uses a range of methods and will discuss treatment choices openly with each client. She believes decisions about how to work together should be made jointly, so goals and methods are clear from the start.

Tressa helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and grief. She also supports clients dealing with career concerns, parenting strain, eating issues, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. Additional topics she addresses include attachment and abandonment, body image, codependency, communication problems, and kink-affirming work where relevant.

Her style is collaborative and direct. She works with children from about age five, teens, and adults, and adjusts techniques to fit age and developmental needs. Building a trusting relationship is central to her work and comes before deeper clinical tasks.

Clients can expect practical conversations, clear goals, and periodic checks on progress. Tressa may shift approaches as new material comes up, and she invites clients to give feedback so treatment stays focused and useful.

How her approaches guide online work

Tressa commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions through a trusting relationship, which is helpful for issues like self-esteem, grief, and relationship stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tressa collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in over time and adjusts the plan as new concerns emerge or goals change.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, offering shorter check-ins when needed, and letting sessions happen from places that reduce scheduling friction. For some people the ability to work from their chosen location helps maintain consistency and focus, while others prefer in-person visits when available. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and help choose what suits a client's routine and needs.
