Trisha Smith-Gomes, LCSW

Trisha Smith-Gomes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and issues related to self-esteem and ADHD. She creates a welcoming space where people can speak openly and be themselves. Her approach is meant to feel collaborative and paced to each person's comfort level.

Trisha listens first to understand what is most important to each person. She then helps identify obstacles and develops practical coping strategies that fit daily life. Sessions combine listening with concrete tools for emotional regulation, communication, and problem solving.

Her background includes 15 years of experience in social work. Over that time she has supported people facing life transitions, workplace stress, and feelings of isolation and loneliness. She also has experience working with neurodivergent individuals and those navigating impulsivity or social anxiety.

Trisha emphasizes building on strengths and small, achievable changes. She works with parents and individual caregivers on the strain that comes with supporting others and offers guidance on communication and self-care. The goal is to leave sessions with clear steps to try between meetings.

People who choose Trisha often want a warm, steady presence and practical ideas they can use right away. If you prefer to move at a gentle pace and create tangible shifts in daily routines, her style may be a good fit.

Approaches that guide online care

Trisha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and coping. One common approach emphasizes teaching specific strategies for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing exercises, behavioral steps, and short practices to use when feeling overwhelmed. This approach helps people gain tools they can use between sessions.

Another frequently used method focuses on improving communication and emotional regulation. That work often includes learning ways to express needs clearly, set boundaries, and respond to strong feelings without reacting impulsively. It is useful for parenting stress, workplace conflicts, and caregiver challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Trisha takes time to learn about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the therapist and client choose techniques that match needs and preferences, and they adjust the plan over time based on what works.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that fits a schedule. It can also let people meet from quieter surroundings or choose a session style that avoids being on camera. Ask about available formats when you schedule to find what will work best for you.
