About Tressa
Tressa Bloom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 27 years of experience. She practices in Florida and brings a long career helping people navigate stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life transitions. Her work often includes attention to ADHD alongside a broad range of emotional and behavioral issues.
She keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative. Tressa talks with clients about their goals, what has and hasn’t worked, and adjusts the plan as needs change.
Background and approach
She uses practical tools as well as space to reflect on patterns that keep problems repeating. Her background includes degrees in psychology and doctoral-level study. That clinical training informs how she blends talking therapy with skill-building.
She draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, psychodynamic perspectives, and solution-focused steps to meet real-world concerns. Typical topics she addresses include depression, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem, and relationship and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with career stress, parenting strain, eating and body image worries, and compassion fatigue.
Treatment plans are shaped together, and approaches may shift as new issues emerge in sessions. People who appreciate both practical strategies and time to understand underlying patterns tend to find her style helpful. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs and schedules.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s own goals and perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients decide what change matters most. This approach is useful for people who want a respectful, collaborative space to sort out their priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses clear, practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions often include simple exercises, goal setting, and homework to practice new skills between meetings. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and managing ADHD-related challenges like organization and focus.
Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort. The therapist will discuss different methods and recommend what fits the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for deeper conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins or regular support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, school, and family life.
