About Trishka

Trishka Lampkin is an LMFT with 16 years of clinical experience practicing in California. She has built a career helping people navigate anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, and a wide range of life stressors by offering focused, practical support that draws on evidence-based methods.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes understanding each person's background and strengths while collaborating on goals for change. Her practice centers on culturally responsive care and affirmative support for LGBTQ+ clients and others who face intersectional stressors.

Trishka blends skill-building with empathy to address issues such as addiction, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting stress, and coping with major life transitions. She also attends to less-common but important areas like adoption and foster care, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and attachment-related concerns.

Clients can expect a respectful, client-centered style that uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, and elements of DBT when helpful. Trishka aims to help people develop practical coping strategies, strengthen self-worth, and move toward more sustainable emotional balance through collaborative treatment planning.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors that maintain distress; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns and helps clients develop practical skills for day-to-day coping.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-guided action and learning to make space for difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful change, which can be useful for chronic stress, identity work, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Trishka collaborates with each person to tailor methods to their goals, preferences, and life context. Together they explore which techniques fit best, adjust strategies over time, and prioritize achievable steps toward the client's priorities.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and allow clients to access therapeutic tools and skill practice in ways that suit their daily life.
