So far in the short time I have been speaking with Trista she has been more than understanding. When I speak with her she knows exactly how I feel and hits it On the nail every time. She is kind and is super thoughtful in her responses to me (via our messaging conversations) I’m glad to be working with her I think she’s very helpful.
More about Trista
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am licensed in Colorado with 3 years of professional work experience in a clinical setting. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma, abuse, and coping with grief and loss. I also have a strong background in children and families and play therapy which comes in handy when working with any age group. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I am a firm believer that you are the expert in you life, I didn’t live through your experiences you did. I see my job being to walk along side you and help you sort life out by pointing out themes and asking deepening questions to help guide and support.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
