About Tressa
Tressa Bloom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 27 years of experience helping people navigate strong emotions and life stressors. She practices in Florida and draws on a long career studying human behavior and treating a wide range of concerns. Tressa works with adults and teens and uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people feel understood and make change.
Her background includes an Associate in Applied Science, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Master of Arts in Community/Clinical Psychology, a Master of Arts in General Psychology, and advanced PhD studies all but dissertation.
Background and approach
Those studies inform a flexible, informed approach to care. She adapts methods to what each person needs rather than relying on one fixed plan. Tressa focuses on common problems such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem.
She also supports people facing grief, parenting challenges, career strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and identity concerns including LGBT topics. Her additional focus areas cover attachment issues, body image, codependency, and other personality-related struggles. In sessions she favors clear goals and practical steps.
She discusses options openly and invites clients to help shape the work. That collaborative stance makes it easier to try new strategies and adjust direction when something is not helping. People who appreciate direct, respectful conversation tend to do well with her style.
Tressa aims to build trust quickly so clients can talk about painful material and practice new ways of coping. She helps with both immediate problems and longer term changes.

Approaches that shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working from the client's perspective. The therapist offers empathy and acceptance while helping people identify their own goals and strengths. This approach is useful for people who want a trusting, person-focused space to talk through emotions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that feed problems like anxiety, anger, and low mood. Sessions include practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thoughts and habits, which can reduce distress between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is assessed.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and nonverbal cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a briefer check-in, and messaging lets people write out thoughts between sessions. These options allow therapy to fit around school, work, caregiving, and other life demands without needing to travel.
