About Tressa
Tressa Bloom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 27 years of experience helping people navigate strong emotions and life changes. She practices in Florida and works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, parenting stress, grief, and career strain. She also supports people facing trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues related to sexual identity and body image.
Her background includes multiple degrees in psychology and advanced PhD studies.
Background and approach
Tressa brings long-term clinical experience to each session and adapts her approach to the person in front of her. She prefers to make treatment decisions together so clients understand each step. In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps and space to talk through difficult feelings.
She uses tools from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral approaches to help people spot patterns and try small changes. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas when looking at how past experiences affect current behavior. Parents often find her straightforward style useful for managing stress and setting realistic goals at home.
She helps parents plan communication strategies and coping routines that fit everyday life. She does not claim guarantees; the work is collaborative and progresses at each person’s pace. Tressa offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules.
Sessions are scheduled through a subscription system that can be canceled at any time, and she sees clients in English only.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the person’s lead. It helps people feel heard and encourages them to set their own goals for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and may try different methods over time. Decisions about methods are made collaboratively so the plan fits each person’s situation and pace.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video sessions are good when seeing facial cues matters, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can suit quick check-ins or those who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments around work, childcare, and daily life.
