About Tricia

Tricia Johnson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota with 9 years of experience providing psychotherapy across a range of settings. She works with individuals and families navigating family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and difficulties with anger management. Tricia strives to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can explore their thoughts and feelings with acceptance, kindness, and respect. She supports clients as they take the often-difficult step toward a more fulfilling life, offering encouragement and collaborative goal-setting to help turn intentions into practical progress.

Her approach prioritizes meeting people where they are and building on existing strengths while introducing skills for coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. Tricia also addresses attachment-related concerns, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, and self-esteem issues. By combining a compassionate stance with goal-oriented work, she helps people improve communication, manage strong emotions, and move toward healthier relationships and greater emotional balance.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Tricia brings several evidence-based approaches to online therapy, starting with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that reflect their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that begin in early life and influence current relationships - this approach is helpful for family conflict, attachment issues, and challenges around adoption or foster care. Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT provides practical skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can support work on anger, stress, and emotion-driven behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tricia works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, and caregiving responsibilities. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations while maintaining continuity of care and regular momentum toward therapeutic goals.
