Tressa Bloom

Tressa Bloom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 27 years of clinical experience. She chose a career in behavioral health early on and has pursued extensive graduate study in psychology. Her background includes multiple psychology degrees and advanced PhD coursework all but dissertation. She practices in Florida and works with people facing a wide range of concerns, including coping with life changes.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She talks with clients about treatment choices and adjusts the approach as needed. Tressa places a lot of value on building trust first and meeting people where they are.

In sessions she uses methods that match each person’s needs. That might mean focusing on current challenges, shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, or looking at longer patterns that shape emotions. She explains options clearly and makes decisions together with the person she is working with.

Tressa has experience supporting children as young as five, teens, and adults. She helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, self-esteem, grief, parenting challenges, career stress, ADHD, and issues related to LGBT identity among other concerns.

Her work also addresses specific themes such as attachment problems, body image, codependency, commitment and communication difficulties, and coping after disasters. People who want a therapist who balances practical strategies with thoughtful reflection may find her approach useful.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help people clarify goals and feel heard, which can be useful for stress, grief, and self-esteem concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns that interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tressa will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit best for a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She may combine ideas from different approaches and will review progress together as therapy continues.
