About Tricia
Tricia Johnson, LICSW, offers therapy rooted in attachment-based ideas to help people feel understood and steady in their relationships. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strains, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem or anger. Her tone is warm and direct, aimed at practical change rather than jargon.
With nine years of experience, she draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered work.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on noticing patterns, understanding emotional responses, and trying new ways of relating that fit each person’s life. Tricia keeps explanations plain and focuses on what people can do between sessions. She helps people manage life transitions, cope with ADHD symptoms, and work through adoption, abandonment, or blended family concerns.
Tricia also addresses caregiver stress, body image worries, communication and commitment issues, and co-morbid conditions. Her practice pays attention to how attachment influences behavior and choices. In sessions she aims to be accepting and nonjudgmental while offering practical encouragement.
People can expect collaborative goal-setting and skills practice tailored to daily life. Tricia emphasizes small, concrete steps that build confidence over time. Tricia practices in Minnesota as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker.
Sessions are available in English and offered in formats that fit different schedules and needs.

Online support
Attachment-informed and skills-based care online
Tricia combines attachment-based thinking with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered work to guide online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and closeness. It helps people notice recurring ways of relating and practice new responses that feel safer and more stable. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values, accepting difficult feelings, and taking committed steps toward a meaningful life. Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, with the therapist providing empathy and nonjudgmental listening. Together these approaches support emotional insight while building everyday skills. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try strategies that fit the issues at hand. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different routines. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other commitments.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
