   About Tyrina

   Tyrina Phillips is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, collaborative methods to help people make meaningful changes. She frames therapy as a partnership and focuses on motivation, coping, and clearer thinking to help clients move toward their goals.

   She brings ten years of experience working with people who face trauma, dual diagnosis, and struggles with coping skills. Tyrina builds treatment plans to fit each person’s needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions tend to center on what a person wants to change and small steps to get there.

   Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. She uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about change. Mindfulness strategies and Narrative Therapy are used to strengthen awareness and reframe personal stories.

   Tyrina has experience addressing mood disorders, anxiety, depression, and substance-related concerns. She also helps with relationship strain, self-esteem, career decisions, and life transitions. Additional areas include compassion fatigue, impulsivity, loneliness, and issues related to aging.

   Clients can expect a straightforward style that combines encouragement with clear tasks and reflections. Plans are adjusted over time based on what’s working. Tyrina studied at Lynn University and Barry University and brings that clinical background to her practice in Florida.

2. How these approaches translate to online therapy

   Motivational Interviewing helps people who feel uncertain about change by clarifying what matters most and finding small, workable steps forward. In online sessions this can look like setting short goals, reviewing progress, and adjusting plans together.
   
   Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and understood. Online conversations can create space for that listening, with the therapist following the client’s lead and tailoring each session to immediate needs.
   
   Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Over a series of meetings the therapist and client identify patterns, try simple behavioral experiments, and practice new ways of responding to stress or mood shifts.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and daily life demands. That choice can change as progress is made, and plans are reviewed together.
   
   The original biography does not list which session formats are available, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a week. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and CBT tools to work well in remote sessions so clients keep moving toward their goals.
