About Tricia

Tricia Johnson is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) based in Minnesota. She works with people facing family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, anger, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Tricia emphasizes a calm, accepting presence and practical steps toward change.

She brings nine years of clinical experience to sessions. Her approach combines acceptance and commitment techniques with cognitive behavioral tools and emotion-focused skills. This mix helps people understand patterns, manage strong emotions, and choose actions that match their values.

Tricia aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. She meets clients with kindness and respect while offering encouragement to reach agreed goals. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps people can use between meetings.

Common concerns she addresses include grief, depression, stress, coping with life changes, and ADHD alongside relational issues such as attachment, communication, and codependency. She also supports people dealing with adoption or foster care history and caregiver stress.

Her work style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Tricia helps people set realistic goals, practice new skills, and track progress. To begin, readers are invited to follow the service's Start Therapy flow and complete a short questionnaire to match with a therapist.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move life in a meaningful direction, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful habits, useful for anger, low mood, and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those needs. Sessions may combine methods as progress and goals evolve, and adjustments are made together over time.

The biography does not specify available online formats, so confirm session types and how they are delivered before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make it simpler to practice new skills between meetings and to bring real-life situations into discussion for immediate problem solving. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and tools to fit each person's schedule and goals.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
