About Patricia
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 33 years of clinical experience, Patricia "Patsy" Holden focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and incorporates a faith-sensitive stance when that is important to the person. She works with women and caregivers and often addresses panic, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury, forgiveness, and related concerns.
Patsy helps people talk through overwhelming emotions in clear, direct terms. Sessions focus on practical skills for managing panic and anxiety, steps for coping with grief, and ways to handle major life transitions. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort that combines real-life strategies with attention to spiritual values when requested.
Her approach draws on methods shown to help with trauma and mood challenges. She guides people to recognize unhelpful patterns and to practice new ways of responding to stress. Work in sessions includes learning coping techniques, processing past hurts at a manageable pace, and planning small, achievable changes.
Patsy has long experience supporting caregivers who face ongoing stress and people dealing with the fallout of traumatic brain injury. She also helps individuals who are wrestling with forgiveness issues and complex grief reactions. Her style is steady and practical, with an emphasis on what can be done between sessions.
People who choose her often want a therapist who will blend clinical methods with respect for spiritual concerns. To begin, callers complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the approach fits their needs.

How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques here refer to practical, research-backed methods aimed at managing symptoms and improving daily functioning. For example, short-term skills training can teach breathing and grounding techniques to reduce panic and acute anxiety. These are step-by-step practices that a person can use between sessions.Another common approach is structured trauma-focused work that helps people process upsetting memories at a controlled pace. This work focuses on breaking overwhelming problems into smaller pieces and practicing new coping responses. A faith-sensitive stance can be included when the person requests it, so spiritual beliefs are considered alongside clinical methods.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and recommend which techniques to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is reviewed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by removing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or from different locations. They can also allow shorter check-ins or longer focused sessions depending on what fits a person's routine.
