About Trisha
Trisha Maslakowski is a licensed professional counselor - mental health service provider (LPC-MHSP) practicing in Tennessee. She brings five years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or grief. Trisha focuses on practical steps parents can use while also addressing the emotional toll of caregiving and life change.
She uses a straightforward, respectful style and adapts conversations to each person's needs. Sessions aim to identify small, achievable changes that reduce daily strain and build confidence.
Background and approach
Trisha listens closely and helps clients name patterns that get in the way of feeling calmer and more capable. Her approach often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she makes space for each person's story while offering concrete tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Clients may practice experiments between sessions to see what helps in real life. Trisha also addresses trauma, anger, guilt, and compassion fatigue. She helps people understand how past hurts affect present reactions and supports steps toward self-compassion and steadier mood.
Parenting concerns are included among the issues she takes on, with attention to both practical routines and emotional coping. Conversations are intended to be clear and doable. Trisha helps clients set small goals, track progress, and adjust plans when needed.
Her style is calm, direct, and focused on making everyday life feel more manageable.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the person's concerns guide the work. In practical terms this means sessions begin with what matters most to the client and proceed at a pace that feels manageable. Client-centered work is useful for processing strong emotions like grief, shame, or compassion fatigue.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses short, focused exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Techniques can include identifying thinking patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and practicing new skills between sessions. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood shifts, and stress that interfere with daily routines.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Trisha will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then adjust techniques as progress is tracked. That collaborative planning helps make sure sessions are practical and relevant for parenting stress or other life changes.
Online formats let people fit therapy into busy days. Video calls approximate an in-person conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging provide brief check-ins or timed support between longer sessions. These options increase flexibility for parents balancing schedules, work, and caregiving.
