More about Patricia
- 12 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I have 14 years counseling experience. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been with the same agency for the duration of my time counseling which I love. I have been training in Progressive Counting which is a trauma based therapy and have been doing this with clients for the past two years.
While I do trauma work, that is not my primary focus. I enjoy working with the geriatric population, and until COVID, was doing homebased therapy to that age group. I work with individuals experiencing a wide range of issues but most that come to me are dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders.
I have experience working with end of life issues/grief as well and have held a per diem position with Hospice for the past ten years. I find that many clients experience these issues whether or not they are connected with Hospice so my work with Hospice has aided me in providing care to those in my full time clinical setting.
I approach treatment with a person/client centered approach. I like to engage with my clients on their level and find some common ground to help with building rapport for the therapeutic relationship. I utilize a Cognitive Behavioral approach and Solution Focused approach often.
I truly enjoy helping others and this is a different platform for me to do so. I commend anyone who reaches out for help as well all need it sometimes.
I very much look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
