About Patricia
Her sessions emphasize practical steps and clear strategies. Patricia uses techniques from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and narrative approaches. She talks through concrete skills for emotion regulation, communication, and decision-making rather than offering abstract promises.
Patricia draws on training in clinical mental health counseling and rehabilitation counseling. She earned a master’s degree from the University of South Florida and has professional recognition from several academic honor societies and training programs. Her background also includes long experience in the fitness and wellness field, which informs a practical focus on daily routines and strength-building activities.
In a typical session she helps people identify small, achievable steps. Sessions may include straightforward goal-setting, practicing specific coping skills, and reviewing progress. She frames work around what the client wants to change and which skills will get them there.
People who are feeling stuck after a job change, separation, loss, or health challenge will find a therapist who emphasizes action and clarity. Patricia asks questions, listens for patterns, and suggests tools people can use between sessions to move forward.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Patricia draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on recognizing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and tackle issues like eating concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and responding to what matters most to the client, helping people clarify their values and next steps.Finding the right approach is often part of the process. Patricia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying a technique for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people use practical exercises and mindfulness practices in the context of their everyday routine so skills carry over between meetings.
