About Tressa
Tressa Bloom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 27 years of experience. She has spent decades helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma. She also supports clients facing relationship concerns, parenting stress, workplace issues, and questions around identity and sexual expression. Her practice is based in Florida and she works with adults and teens.
She trained in multiple psychology programs and completed advanced PhD studies all but dissertation. That long academic path informs how she thinks about behavior and emotional patterns. In sessions she listens first, aiming to understand what matters most to each person before suggesting a plan.
Tressa uses a mix of approaches that change with the client's needs. She draws on client-centered principles to build trust and on cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns and solution-focused work for practical, short-term goals.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Decisions about treatment are discussed openly and made together with the client. The therapist emphasizes building a strong, trusting working relationship as a first step toward progress.
Clients seeking help for men’s wellbeing concerns will find her listed in that category. People considering therapy are encouraged to ask about how her methods might fit their current challenges before scheduling.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person's perspective and building a trusting working relationship. Online work using this approach emphasizes empathic listening and collaborative goal setting, which can help with stress, low mood, and self-esteem issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. In remote sessions CBT often includes talking through specific situations, identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, and practicing practical exercises between meetings to manage anxiety or depressive symptoms.
Psychodynamic Therapy looks for repeating patterns that shape how people relate and cope. Online sessions can support reflection on past experiences and current patterns to increase self-understanding and change long-standing habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and collaborate on what feels most useful. Treatment can shift over time as goals change and new issues emerge.
