Patricia “Tricia” Conlon is a seasoned therapist who became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in 2003 and holds Florida licensure as a marriage and family therapist (FL LMFT MT2005). She earned a Bachelor of Arts in General Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Asheville in 1997 and completed a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy at Nova Southeastern University in 1999.
Over a 24-year career, Tricia has worked extensively with individuals, couples, and families facing mental health challenges, major life changes, loss, chronic illness, and trauma-related disorders. Her current practice emphasizes couples and family systems, women’s issues, and clinical support for first responders and other high-achieving professionals dealing with depression, anxiety, complex trauma, and bereavement.
She holds certification as an Alzheimer’s Level I and II Trainer through the University of South Florida, which informs her dementia-specific training and support for family caregivers and healthcare staff. Tricia is also trained in Critical Incident Stress Management to provide crisis intervention for first responders, schools, and community groups that have experienced sudden loss or traumatic events.
Her therapeutic toolbox includes training in cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness meditation practices, EMDR, and hypnotherapy. Professional experience spans non-profit agency roles and healthcare administration, with clinical work in integrative medicine, oncology, psychiatry, substance abuse treatment, and dementia-focused services. For ten years she served on the virtual faculty at the University of Phoenix teaching for the College of Health Sciences and Nursing.
Looking ahead, Tricia plans to pursue certification as an Integrative Mental Health Professional to further align her training with mind-body approaches to recovery. She also hopes to become a published author and to broaden her hypnotherapy work toward integrative health and wellness therapies for motivated clients seeking transformative change.
Many people ask whether online therapy really helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life transitions, research and clinical practice indicate that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
An important benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that works best for them, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit mental health care into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity of care during life changes.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be helpful. Online therapy offers an accessible path to address everyday mental health concerns with trained therapists while accommodating individual needs and routines.
