Tyrina Phillips, LCSW

Tyrina Phillips is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who centers therapy on the person in front of her. She emphasizes a collaborative approach where the client sets goals and she supports, motivates, and challenges them toward those goals. Tyrina has focused much of her work on trauma and abuse and on people who struggle with dual diagnosis and coping skills.

She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness methods to build practical plans. Sessions typically focus on small, doable changes rather than long lectures. Tyrina uses a trauma-informed stance throughout treatment to reduce reactivity and help people feel steadier.

Clients who come with anxiety, depression, stress, or issues related to addiction and bipolar mood challenges will find concrete tools to manage symptoms day to day. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem, career concerns, relationship strain, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Work often includes identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing new skills, and setting short-term goals.

Tyrina trained at Lynn University in Boca Raton and Barry University in Miami Shores, Florida. She brings about ten years of clinical experience to her practice and describes therapy as a partnership where progress is measurable and practical steps matter.

People considering therapy are encouraged to think about what they want to change and to bring that into the first session. Tyrina focuses on helping clients find relief from whatever is keeping them from feeling more peaceful and in control.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experience. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people name what matters most so they can make decisions that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. These methods are often used to address anxiety, depression, trauma responses, and coping challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match the client's needs, goals, and preferences. If something isn’t helping, adjustments are made together so the work stays useful and focused on real-world change.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography does not list which online methods are used. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between sessions. It can also allow shorter check-ins, fewer disruptions for people with tight days, or options that reduce travel time. Licensed professionals use these approaches to help clients practice skills, track progress, and apply changes to everyday life.
