About Tricia
Tricia Johnson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who focuses on helping people navigate family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, and men’s wellbeing concerns. She offers straightforward support for anxiety, depression, stress, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, and life transitions. Her approach centers on acceptance, kindness, and practical steps toward the goals clients set.
Tricia draws from several therapy styles to match what each person needs. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts. She also brings in acceptance and commitment ideas to help people act in line with their values even when emotions are hard.
Attachment-based and client-centered work shapes how she builds a trusting relationship with clients. This means sessions focus on listening, understanding patterns from past relationships, and trying new ways of relating. Dialectical behavior ideas are used when people need skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Tricia has nine years of experience working in Minnesota across different settings. Her tone in sessions is nonjudgmental and encouraging. She aims to help people feel heard while offering clear tools to cope with day-to-day challenges.
She supports individuals facing specific issues such as adoption and foster care concerns, abandonment, caregiver stress, body image, communication problems, and co-morbid conditions. Anyone considering therapy is invited to take a small next step toward change.
Therapy approaches and how they translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still take steps toward what matters to them. It’s useful for stress, anxiety, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce depression and anxiety symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and supports trying different ways of relating and communicating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to pick or blend methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. Clients are invited to give feedback and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what to expect. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let some people join from quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera, which some find more comfortable. Talk with the therapist about timing and structure so appointments align with everyday life.
