About Patricia
Patricia (Tricia) Ring is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Indiana with 28 years of clinical experience. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master of Social Work earned in Connecticut, and has worked in direct clinical roles for many years. Tricia helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, relationship concerns, grief, sleep problems, and issues related to identity and gender.
Her approach leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while also drawing on client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas. She uses practical techniques such as behavior change strategies, problem solving, and motivational conversation to help people make steady progress. Mindfulness practices are offered to manage overwhelming thoughts and to reduce reactivity.
Tricia has experience supporting people from young adulthood through midlife and has worked with adoption and foster care situations, blended family issues, family of origin concerns, veterans, and survivors of domestic violence. She also has experience with people who identify as trans, non-binary, queer, and gay. She aims to respect each person’s background while focusing on concrete steps forward.
Sessions are collaborative and usually focus on clear goals and skills to try between meetings. Humor and straightforward feedback are part of how she works when appropriate. People can expect direct conversation about symptoms and practical ways to change unhelpful patterns.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payment uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, with costs that vary by location.
Background and approach continued: Tricia concentrates on measurable progress. She will discuss which methods fit a persons needs and preferences, and adapt plans as work proceeds. She emphasizes coping skills for life changes, strategies for anxiety and panic, and ways to manage mood swings and sleep difficulties. Her clinical experience includes trauma-informed perspectives and behavior-focused interventions aimed at reducing harm and improving daily functioning.
Approaches used and how online sessions function
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the persons own goals and perspective. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps the client clarify priorities and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, panic, low mood, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tricia will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will suggest methods to try. That selection is collaborative and may change as progress is made, with an eye toward practical skills and measurable steps.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and remove travel time so people can use a break at work or school for an appointment. Therapists and licensed professionals use the online setting to run the same core interventions they use in person, including CBT skill practice, mindful breathing exercises, and emotionally-focused conversations that help sort relationship and family concerns.
