Tyrina Phillips, LCSW

Tyrina Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood problems, and life transitions. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing to guide sessions. Tyrina keeps language plain and focuses on clear, achievable steps so worried parents and busy adults can follow along.

She has about 10 years of clinical experience, with much of her work concentrating on trauma, dual diagnosis, addiction concerns, and weakened coping skills. Tyrina creates a treatment plan for each person rather than using the same plan for everyone. That means goals, pacing, and homework are personalized to match daily life and responsibilities.

In sessions she combines cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening. Mindfulness practices are used to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and stay engaged with goals.

Tyrina also addresses relationship strain, self-esteem, career stress, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. She supports people dealing with bipolar and other mood disorders, and she works with issues like isolation, guilt, and forgiveness. Practical coping skills and short-term strategies are a regular part of the work.

Therapy sessions are offered in multiple online formats to fit different schedules. Tyrina invites prospective clients to complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability. Her approach aims to make progress feel manageable and realistic.

CBT, Mindfulness, and Collaborative Online Care

Tyrina uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change behavior. CBT is practical and often focuses on problems you want to change now, such as anxiety, mood swings, or unhealthy habits.

She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and the person's own goals. This approach makes room for motivational interviewing, which helps people find personal reasons to change and build momentum toward their objectives.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tyrina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels realistic, then tailor methods together. This collaborative process lets the therapist adjust techniques as progress is made or priorities shift.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied routines. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can be handy for brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep work while attending appointments and to fit sessions into busy family schedules.
