About Tressa

Tressa Bloom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 27 years of experience. She practices in Florida and brings a long history of study and clinical work to sessions. Many people seek her out for stress, anxiety, midlife transitions, and relationship or career concerns.

She holds an Associate in Applied Science, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Master of Arts in Community/Clinical Psychology, and a Master of Arts in General Psychology, plus advanced PhD studies all but dissertation. Tressa draws on that broad background to tailor care to each person’s needs rather than relying on a single method.

In session she starts by listening closely to what matters most to the client. She talks through goals and options together so people know what to expect. Her style emphasizes clear, practical steps alongside time to understand deeper patterns that affect daily life.

Tressa commonly helps people navigate grief, anger, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, and questions about identity, including LGBT concerns. She also supports those facing mood disorders, attention challenges, and compassion fatigue. Her interest includes attachment and relationship dynamics, body image and eating concerns, and coping with major life changes.

Therapy with her may blend client-centered conversations, cognitive behavioral techniques for managing thoughts and behavior, psychodynamic ideas about past influences, and solution-focused strategies for immediate problems. She adapts the mix as issues evolve and encourages collaboration throughout the process.

How Tressa’s Approaches Fit Online Sessions

Tressa uses client-centered work to focus sessions on what matters most to each person. That approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and shaping goals together so the client guides the pace and topics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers clear tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that suit those aims, and adjust as needed. This happens as a collaboration so people understand why certain techniques are chosen and can give feedback about what helps.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular sessions around work or family commitments and to check in more quickly during periods of stress. Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered and which will best fit your schedule and needs.
