About Trishka
Trishka Lampkin is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in California with 16 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people facing anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. Trishka creates a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through what matters most to them.
Her background includes working with trauma, relationship struggles, grief, and issues around identity and belonging. She also supports people dealing with addictions, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, and bipolar challenges.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how life events like adoption, caregiving, chronic illness, or aging shape daily coping. Trishka favors approaches that help people act on their values, understand attachment patterns, and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In sessions she uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and DBT alongside client-centered listening.
The goal is to teach skills that fit a person’s routine and goals, not to overload them with jargon. She’s committed to working with people from marginalized communities, including LGBTQ+ clients and people of color, and brings cultural awareness into conversations about identity and healing. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort level.
Practical matters are handled simply: sessions can be by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Trishka asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire so therapy can begin in a way that fits their life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where motivation and direction feel unclear. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections affect current relationships and emotional patterns, which helps when intimacy, abandonment, or attachment issues arise. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust as you go. Sessions are collaborative - you and the therapist decide what techniques to try and what progress looks like for you.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible in different ways. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone wants to speak without being on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins and a way to reflect in writing between sessions. These options help therapy fit into busy schedules and changing needs.
