Tricia Stark is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work with individuals and couples. She is also a Certified First Responder Counselor, providing therapeutic support to law enforcement, fire and rescue, medical personnel, and members of the military. Tricia focuses on helping people navigate trauma and post-traumatic stress, anxiety and depression, stress and life transitions, grief, family conflict, and relationship challenges including infidelity and commitment concerns.

Her practice often addresses complex presentations such as co-morbid conditions, mood disorders, first responder issues, and the effects of sexual assault and abuse. Tricia uses an integrative approach that is tailored to each person or couple, selecting techniques that best fit the presenting concerns and individual preferences. Commonly used methods include person-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathy and the therapeutic relationship; solution-focused techniques for practical problem solving; cognitive-behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; and cognitive-processing therapy for trauma-related symptoms. Tricia aims to create a collaborative environment where clients work together with a skilled, experienced LPC to set goals and find paths toward improved functioning and well-being.
