Tyrina Phillips

Tyrina Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 10 years of practice. She works with people facing trauma and abuse, addiction, mood concerns, stress, and questions about life purpose and career.

She frames therapy as a partnership. She asks questions, challenges unhelpful patterns, and supports practical steps toward change. Tyrina has spent much of her career working with people who have dual diagnoses, trauma histories, and limited coping skills. Her work often includes addressing depression, anxiety, compassion fatigue, and relationship or family problems.

She uses a mix of approaches to match the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change thinking and behavior patterns. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the person’s goals and experiences. Motivational Interviewing supports decisions around substance use and behavior change.

Sessions include trauma-informed care throughout. Tyrina creates treatment plans based on each person’s needs and life context rather than a one-size solution. She trained at Lynn University and Barry University in Florida and applies that background to clinical work.

People who feel stuck after a job change, a loss, or a hard season may find practical options to try in sessions. Conversations focus on concrete steps, coping strategies, and clarifying what matters next rather than abstract theory. To begin, readers are invited to review session options and complete the intake questionnaire to schedule a first meeting.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on the person's concerns and priorities. Online sessions using this approach mean conversations are guided by the client's goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thinking and behavior patterns and offers practical exercises to try between meetings. That makes CBT easy to use in online sessions when a client wants concrete tools for anxiety or mood issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to prioritize based on current goals, symptoms, and preferences. Changes can be reviewed and adjusted as progress unfolds so the plan stays relevant.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Others appreciate being able to join from a quieter setting or to use audio-only sessions when bandwidth is limited. Discuss format choices during the initial scheduling step so sessions match real-world routines.
