About Patricia

Patricia works with adults who are dealing with mood concerns, relationship or workplace strain, caregiving stress, and other life transitions.

Patricia uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and existential ideas.

She also supports people facing money worries, work pressure, forgiveness issues, and questions about life purpose. Conversations aim to clarify what matters and to build manageable next steps.

Patricia emphasizes straightforward tools like behavior changes, values clarification, and coping strategies for strong emotions. She works to reduce avoidance and to increase practical choices that fit daily life. Sessions typically include skill practice, reflection, and planning for the week ahead.

Her background spans community and clinical settings over two decades. She holds the credential LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Patricia is based in Ohio and conducts work in English.

How her methods translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters and take actions that reflect those values. It often involves exercises to notice thoughts without getting stuck and choosing small steps toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It uses structured work like activity scheduling, thought records, and behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and the types of tasks the client is willing to try. They will choose methods together and adjust them over time based on what helps most.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in their usual surroundings and return to material between meetings. Ask about specific session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know what formats are offered.
