About Patricia

Patricia "Tricia" Conlon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 24 years of experience. She helps people manage relationship strain, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life changes.

Background and approach

She also supports those facing caregiver stress, addiction concerns, and questions about intimacy or parenting. Tricia prefers a straightforward style in sessions.

She listens first and works with each person to set clear, doable goals. Treatment mixes practical skills and emotional work so people can use what they learn between visits.

Her background includes clinical work in oncology, integrative medicine, psychiatry, substance use services, and dementia-related care. She has taught virtual classes for the College of Health Sciences and Nursing at the University of Phoenix and provides training for caregivers and health professionals.

Tricia uses several therapy approaches to match a person’s needs, including Gottman Method, attachment-informed work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and cognitive behavioral ideas. She draws on these methods to address communication, coping, and patterns that keep problems going.

Sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging for people in Florida. People who are curious can expect direct conversation, practical tools, and support in applying changes to daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and reducing conflict in relationships by teaching specific skills for talking and listening, which can help couples rebuild trust and connection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, centers on clarifying values and learning practical ways to accept difficult thoughts while taking action toward a meaningful life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and helps people develop safer, more supported ways of relating and coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, symptoms, and preferences. That means trying practical exercises, checking what helps, and adjusting the focus as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Messaging and live chat let people share thoughts between sessions and keep momentum when schedules are busy. These options make it easier to attend sessions from work, home, or while traveling, and they allow flexible scheduling for people with caregiving or professional demands.
