About Patricia

Patricia Salinas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of professional counseling experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, parenting and family issues, and related areas such as addiction, ADHD, grief, and career stress.

She draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques in short, practical sessions. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused. She aims to help people sort priorities, learn coping skills, and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Patricia spent many years working for the State of Texas supporting people in high-stress situations. That background included work on child custody, divorce, domestic violence, and immigration-related family problems. She also has experience with adoption and foster care, blended family issues, and workplace problems that affect self-esteem.

Her approach mixes motivational interviewing and solution-focused work with emotionally-focused strategies when relationships are central. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, setting small goals, and practicing new responses between meetings. She avoids labeling and treats each person with respect and sensitivity.

Patricia offers services in English and Spanish. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects concerns, and helps clarify goals. This approach is useful for life transitions, parenting stress, and emotional support.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills practice.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on relationship patterns and emotional responses. It can help when family tensions, attachment issues, or relationship conflicts are central concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and needs and adapt methods over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to use and how to measure progress.

Confirm current session formats before booking. The practical benefits of working remotely include fitting sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, and fewer travel requirements. Discuss scheduling and format details during the matching questionnaire and first appointment to find what works best.
