Tyrina Phillips

Tyrina Phillips is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida who centers her work on practical change. She uses clear, straightforward methods to help people manage trauma, anxiety, depression, career concerns, and struggles with coping. Sessions focus on building skills and small steps that can be used right away.

Her background includes a decade of clinical experience working largely with people facing trauma, dual diagnosis, and difficulties with coping. She trained at Lynn University and Barry University and brings that clinical experience into everyday conversations. She frames therapy as a partnership and meets each person where they are.

Tyrina combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with solution-focused ideas and motivational interviewing to create individualized plans. Mindfulness practices are offered as a way to reduce reactivity and increase self-awareness. She tailors interventions to each person's goals rather than applying a single method.

In sessions she helps people with career decisions, relationship strain, substance use concerns, and mood symptoms such as bipolar or depression. She also addresses compassion fatigue, isolation, and life purpose questions to help people reconnect to what matters to them.

Treatment plans are developed with attention to past trauma and current safety and coping. Tyrina aims for measurable steps - changes people can notice between sessions. She welcomes questions and works with clients to set realistic, achievable goals.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experience, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help clarify next steps. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort priorities and make decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and problems that respond well to structured practice between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy introduces short attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of emotions and body signals. These practices pair well with other techniques for stress, trauma responses, and mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods together to see what fits best. Clients and the therapist make adjustments over time so the treatment matches current needs and preferences.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as scheduling around work or avoiding travel time. Confirm the current session options before booking to know which formats are available. The focus remains on making progress - short check-ins, skill practice between meetings, and planning real-life steps that fit each person’s day-to-day routines.
