About Tricia
Tricia Johnson is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) based in Minnesota. She draws on nine years of clinical experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and challenges with parenting and family relationships. Tricia focuses on creating a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly about what feels hard in their lives.
She works calmly and directly to help people name problems and try different ways of coping. That can look like learning new skills for managing strong emotions, breaking down overwhelming problems into steps, or practicing clear communication about needs and boundaries. Tricia regularly helps people navigate trauma and abuse recovery, anger, and self-esteem struggles.
Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods, including acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and attachment-focused perspectives. She also uses client-centered and dialectical behavior approaches when those fit a person’s needs. These methods are chosen to match what each person wants to accomplish in therapy.
Tricia supports people working through life changes, ADHD-related challenges, and a range of relational concerns such as blended family issues, adoption and foster care questions, and caregiving stress. She emphasizes practical steps and small changes that add up over time.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Tricia Connects Therapeutic Approaches to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take small steps toward values-based action. It often helps when life changes, stress, anxiety, or self-esteem problems make moving forward feel hard. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect present-day reactions; it can be useful for family conflict, attachment issues, and relationship patterns that cause pain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tricia will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try, checking in and adjusting based on goals and what feels useful. The process is collaborative and practical, focusing on skills people can use between sessions as well as topics they want to address during meetings.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when a full hour isn't possible, and remove the need to travel. It can also let people use video or other formats that suit their energy level and daily schedule. Licensed professionals, including Tricia, can discuss what will work best given your needs and preferences when you begin the matching process.
