About Trisha
Trisha Stephens is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in West Virginia with eight years of experience. She helps adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Trisha also supports people wrestling with communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and questions about life purpose.
She trained at the University of Louisville with a Master of Science in Social Work and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Religious Studies from Morehead State University. Her background across social work and the humanities shapes a practical, down-to-earth style. She frames sessions around clear goals and realistic next steps.
Trisha describes her method as eclectic. That means she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s situation. Sessions emphasize straightforward conversation, skill building, and planning actions clients can try between meetings.
People can expect therapist-led discussion that brings values and daily life into focus. Trisha pays attention to how beliefs, past losses, and stress affect day-to-day choices. She helps people identify small experiments to test new ways of coping and relating.
Outside of her work she enjoys board games, attending concerts, and spending time outdoors. These personal interests often come up as examples when talking through ways to rebuild routine and meaning after change.
Therapeutic approaches and how online work fits in
Trisha draws on evidence-based techniques to help people make practical changes. Cognitive-based approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing alternative thoughts; these methods can help with anxiety, low mood, and guidance about choices. Behavioral strategies concentrate on changing routines and building small habits that improve daily functioning, which is useful for depression, addictions, and managing stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Trisha will work together with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That collaboration includes checking what helps and adjusting plans as progress unfolds.
