About Tricia
Tricia Johnson is a licensed independent clinical social worker, LICSW, practicing in Minnesota. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and challenges related to parenting and family life.

That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and clarify personal values to guide choices. She also uses attachment-focused ideas to look at relationship patterns that influence stress and communication.
Her background includes nine years of professional experience providing psychotherapy across different settings in Minnesota. Tricia emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about difficult feelings and past events. She offers steady support while helping people set realistic goals and practice skills outside sessions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when distressing thoughts arise. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors or habits to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room; the therapist listens closely and follows the client's pace while offering reflection and support.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. Clients and the therapist review what helps and adjust the plan so it better fits real life and goals.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule, or sessions without video when bandwidth or comfort make that preferable. Licensed professionals can use these flexible arrangements to help people practice skills, manage daily stress, and stay consistent with treatment.
