About Trishka

Trishka Lampkin is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 16 years of experience. She creates a compassionate, affirming space where people can talk through anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and identity questions.

She focuses on practical work that helps clients manage stress, rebuild self-esteem, and cope with life changes. Trishka pays attention to the whole person, including cultural background and how identity affects everyday life. She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, trauma, and intimacy-related concerns.

Her style is collaborative and strengths-based. She listens closely, then helps set goals that make sense for daily life. Sessions include tools for handling difficult feelings and steps to try outside the session.

Trishka has experience helping LGBTQ+ people and those from communities that face barriers in mental health care. She aims to reduce shame and foster self-acceptance while respecting each person’s pace.

Clients can expect clear, straightforward guidance grounded in approaches that match their needs. Trishka works with people through transitions like parenting challenges, caregiving strain, or major life changes, and addresses issues such as ADHD, anger, and chronic illness with practical strategies.

She frames therapy as a partnership focused on growth and resilience, helping people build routines and skills they can use after therapy ends.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values, often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how past bonds shape present reactions, which can help with intimacy-related worries and abandonment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable steps and teaches practical skills to change them, a good fit for stress, panic, and mood challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then recommend a mix of methods. That plan can shift as needs change so the client stays involved in decisions.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports continuity through relocations or caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, home practice, and skills coaching to work well in online sessions, and the therapist will help tailor session length and pacing to what fits each person.
