Getting to know Tricia Ames

Hi there, I'm Tricia! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing telehealth services in Florida. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Millersville University. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, trauma, foster care, and adoption. I typically use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trust-Based Relational Interventions to support clients. My approach Each client has unique needs, stories, and goals. I use trauma-informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) to create a supportive healing environment. CBT helps clients recognize and change negative thought patterns, while TBRI focuses on building trust, connection, and meeting emotional needs. By blending these, I help clients develop healthy coping skills, strengthen relationships, and work toward lasting positive change. My focus I have extensive experience with children, teens, and families facing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, adoption and foster care, and relationship struggles. I strive to create a compassionate space where clients feel safe to explore emotions and develop coping strategies as they navigate life stages. My communication style I create an empathetic, compassionate, and professional space focused on understanding and supporting clients without judgment. My goal is a safe space where clients feel heard, valued, and accepted. I pride myself on a personable and professional approach that builds trust, fosters healing, and empowers clients to navigate challenges with support and kindness. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist to support and empower children, teens, and adults through life’s challenges. Helping others heal, grow, and build stronger relationships drives my passion for this work.
