About Trishka

Trishka Lampkin is a California-based licensed marriage and family therapist with 16 years of experience helping people through hard life moments. She creates a calm, affirming space where clients can talk about anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and identity questions.

She focuses on clear, practical work. Sessions look at what is happening now and what small changes could make life easier. Trishka helps people build coping skills for stress, manage mood shifts, and handle trauma-related reactions in everyday life.

Her practice pays attention to culture and identity. She aims to support LGBTQ+ people and others who face layered challenges, while respecting each person’s background and values. This includes guidance around adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and aging and geriatric issues.

Trishka draws on approaches like acceptance and commitment work, attachment-focused work, and client-centered listening to shape sessions around each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior techniques when they fit the situation.

She uses plain talk and collaborative problem solving. People work together with her to set goals, try new skills, and adjust plans as life changes. To begin, visitors choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that matter to them. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping during life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and emotion patterns, which can be useful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs shift over time.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce commuting, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also allow sessions from different locations when people are managing caregiving, health needs, or work schedules. Ask about current session options when you sign up so arrangements match your daily life and goals.
