Hello, my name is Patricia Scheldrup. I have been a social worker for over 20 years and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for the past 9 years. I have a broad range of experience having worked in a variety of settings, including: hospitals, foster care agencies and hospices. During my career I have helped individuals facing a multitude of challenges; from anxiety and depression to death and dying. I have also assisted people struggling with various life transitions, family/relationship issues, grief and chronic pain.
I enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds. My approach is holistic, authentic and multifaceted. I use a wide range of therapeutic modalities in my treatment approach, including: cognitive behavioral, solution focused and strength based therapies. I also like to incorporate meditation into my practice. I approach each client with respect for their individuality and right to self determination. I strongly believe people have the ability to heal and thrive!
Thank you for viewing my profile. I look forward to hearing about you and partnering with you on your journey!

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.
