About Patricia
Patricia (Tricia) Ring is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 28 years of clinical experience. She trained in psychology and social work in Connecticut and has worked in a variety of settings before relocating to Indiana in 2017. Tricia focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Tricia uses practical, evidence-informed tools to help people manage symptoms and make steady changes. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to build new habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy also informs her work with emotions and attachment-related patterns.
Her background includes work with adoption and foster care situations, blended family concerns, family of origin issues, and survivors of domestic violence. She also has experience supporting people with mood disorders, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and bipolar disorder. Tricia has worked with veterans and people navigating gender identity and LGBT issues.
Sessions are conversational and grounded in real problems. She values humor alongside serious work and encourages clients to use their own strengths. Tricia describes clients as the experts of their stories and sees therapy as a collaborative process.
People who prefer clear, behavior-focused steps along with attention to emotion often find her approach useful. She helps clients set clinical goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track progress over time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and attachment patterns. In practice this means naming hard-to-reach feelings and tracking how those feelings shape interactions and choices. EFT can be helpful for people noticing repeated emotional patterns that cause pain. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s perspective and priorities. The therapist listens carefully and follows the client’s pace, helping them make sense of their experience and decide next steps. This approach supports people who want a collaborative, respectful conversation about what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses concrete exercises and practice to change unhelpful thinking and build new routines. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences. This may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting as progress is made. Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins on a break, or letting someone attend from a quieter location. Talk with the therapist about which format and pace will work best for your schedule and goals.Areas of expertise
