About Tricia
Tricia Smith-Peck is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana with 25 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, LGBT concerns, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Her practice pays attention to life purpose and practical problems that come after big changes.
Her style is straightforward and conversational. She helps people talk through what feels stuck and what matters next. Sessions focus on clarifying priorities, naming unhelpful patterns, and testing small changes that fit daily life. Conversations are aimed at making decisions easier, not promising quick answers.
Tricia also addresses communication problems and control issues that get in the way of everyday functioning. She supports people processing divorce and separation, working through forgiveness, and navigating workplace tension. Social anxiety and phobia are part of her caseload, as are concerns many women bring about roles and expectations.
Over the years she has worked with people who are worn down by caregiving or by compassion fatigue. In those cases she helps clients recognize limits and experiment with manageable steps to reduce overwhelm. The focus is on practical shifts that protect energy and clarify priorities.

Therapeutic approaches and online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often focus on changing patterns of thought and behavior. One common approach addresses anxious thinking by helping a person notice worry, test it against real outcomes, and try small behavioral experiments to reduce avoidance. This kind of work can help with social anxiety, worry, and recurring stress reactions.Another useful method focuses on values and purpose. It helps people clarify what matters after a job change, a breakup, or a health event, and then set small steps that align daily life with those priorities. That work supports decisions about work, relationships, and next steps without promising a fixed outcome.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tricia will work together with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and current circumstances. She adjusts methods as needs change rather than using a single formula.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use the flexibility of remote work to help people maintain consistency while they address life purpose, stress, and anxiety.
