About Eugenia
LMSW, LCSW in Michigan with 35 years of practice, Eugenia Patru helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, depression, grief, trauma, parenting strains, and career or life-change problems.
Eugenia has three and a half decades of clinical experience. She works directly with clients to name problems and set clear goals. Sessions focus on practical steps rather than long theory. She aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and situations.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). That means she uses skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and to build emotional regulation tools. These methods are applied to issues like anxiety, substance use, grief, caregiving stress, and post-traumatic reactions.
Eugenia pays attention to communication patterns and problem areas such as control issues, guilt and shame, money concerns, and separation or divorce. She also supports people dealing with hospice and end-of-life matters and compassion fatigue. Work can include coaching-style tasks alongside therapeutic skill-building.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Clients can expect to learn coping skills, practice new ways of responding, and get clear suggestions for handling conflicts and daily stressors. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How CBT and DBT are used in online care
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It often involves short exercises between sessions to change thinking patterns and reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.DBT teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It emphasizes concrete strategies for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication, which can help with trauma responses, self-destructive urges, and high-stress situations.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Eugenia will work with clients to choose or combine methods based on their goals and everyday challenges. The therapist reviews progress and adjusts plans so the work stays practical and relevant.
Confirm session formats before booking using the site steps. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekly routine, shorten check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoid travel time. It also allows skill practice and coaching suggestions to be carried out in day-to-day settings, helping clients try new responses between meetings.
