About Trisha
Trisha Smith-Gomes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem questions, and ADHD. People who feel stuck after a life change or who are unsure what matters next often seek her help.
Her sessions focus on clear, practical steps. She listens to what is happening now and helps identify patterns that keep problems going. Together, she and the client create coping strategies for day-to-day stress, tools for regulating strong emotions, and ways to improve communication with others.
Trisha describes her style as collaborative and supportive. She pays attention to each person's strengths and life circumstances. She does not rely on a single method; instead she adjusts the work to fit the client’s goals and pace.
Her background includes a variety of settings over a 15-year career helping people with anxiety, depression, workplace issues, social anxiety and phobia, and caregiver stress. She also has experience supporting neurodivergent individuals and those navigating young adult issues.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills - for example, communication techniques, ways to manage impulsivity, and strategies to reduce isolation. She encourages gradual steps toward clearer priorities and better daily routines. The work aims to make everyday life feel more manageable and purposeful.
Clients who want to start can expect a straightforward, paced approach that centers on what matters now. Trisha works in English and practices in Florida as an LCSW, using her years of experience to help people find direction after change.
How her therapeutic methods translate to online work
Trisha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and behavior change. One common approach is skills training for emotion regulation, which teaches concrete ways to notice triggers, slow down impulsive reactions, and practice calmer responses. These skills help with anger, impulsivity, and intense anxiety. Another approach is structured problem-solving and communication coaching, which breaks down difficult situations into steps and rehearses clearer ways to speak and set boundaries; this is useful for parenting challenges and workplace conflicts.Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and what is happening in their life. If something isn’t working, she adjusts the methods and tries alternatives together.

Others prefer longer blocks for focused skill practice. The therapist will discuss what session rhythm and format will best support daily routines and progress.
