About Tyrenia

Dr. Tyrenia Cross offers a collaborative, skills-focused approach for people seeking practical strategies to manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, depression, addiction, grief, trauma, and other life challenges.

Background and approach

With 20 years of clinical work, she emphasizes helping clients identify patterns, build coping skills, and make tangible changes that improve day-to-day functioning and emotional well-being. Dr.

Cross draws on evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help clients reframe unhelpful thoughts, reduce avoidance, and practice new behaviors in real-world situations. Her work also addresses a broad set of related concerns such as career transitions, compassion fatigue, chronic illness and pain, communication and commitment issues, and family-of-origin dynamics.

She blends practical tools with a respectful, person-centered stance so each plan reflects the client’s priorities. Licensed as an LMHC, Dr.

Cross practices from Florida and brings two decades of experience to her clinical work. She aims to support individuals as they process difficult emotions, strengthen coping resources, and move toward clearer goals for recovery, growth, and improved relationships.

CBT-Based Care and Flexible Online Options

Dr. Cross uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, test new ways of responding, and develop practical skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. CBT is goal-oriented and often includes exercises between sessions to practice new habits and coping strategies.

Her work also emphasizes problem-solving and skill building for real-world challenges such as relationship communication, managing stress, and coping with health-related or career transitions. These approaches focus on actionable steps clients can take to feel more in control and better able to manage daily demands.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process; she will work with each client to choose and adapt methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. This partnership helps tailor interventions so they feel relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Dr. Cross is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit treatment into busy schedules. These options provide flexibility for people who need weekend or weekday evening access, frequent check-ins, or a mix of synchronous and asynchronous support from a licensed professional.
