Trisha Maslakowski

Trisha Maslakowski is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) practicing in Tennessee. She has five years of professional experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or grief. Trisha aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for people to start making changes.

Her work focuses on everyday problems that get in the way of feeling steady. She talks with people about anger, trauma and abuse, mood struggles, and challenges that come with parenting or major life changes. She also addresses guilt and shame, compassion fatigue, and issues many women face.

Trisha uses Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions focused on the person's concerns and strengths. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. Together with each person she tailors the conversation and plan to fit real life needs.

Sessions aim for practical steps that can be tried between meetings. Trisha encourages small experiments, clearer communication, and coping tools for intense feelings. The goal is steady improvement rather than quick fixes.

Beginning therapy can feel hard, and Trisha frames the first session as a chance to listen and set realistic goals. She supports people through the process with straightforward guidance and an emphasis on respect and sensitivity.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them feel heard so they can notice what matters most. This approach is useful for building trust and deciding what to work on first.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear exercises and experiments to try different responses to difficult thoughts and emotions, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and low self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as goals shift or new challenges appear.

Check which session formats are offered before booking so arrangements match your needs. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support steady practice of skills between sessions and help keep momentum while life is busy.
