More about Patricia
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LICSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Washington State with ten years of experience working with people navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, and life-changing situations. It takes incredible mental and physical effort in order to be done successfully and therefore tests a person's ability to challenge irrational beliefs.
My approach is solution-focused, client-centered, and strengths-based. I assist clients in identifying and challenging harmful thoughts and replacing them with a more realistic, healthy perspective. I work with individuals or couples to utilize the main components of cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based therapies. Cognitive therapy focuses mainly on thought patterns as responsible for negative emotional and behavioral patterns.
When working with clients, I make the therapy experience safe, respectful, authentic and affirming. You are the narrator and navigator of your life. You are the expert with unique values and needs. I enjoy working with clients open to making changes and creating meaningful fulfillment.

My focus is on providing a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space for adults, couples, and families to share their experiences and to help them navigate through positive or negative experiences to improve their lives and find purpose.
I received a Master's in Social work in 2011 from the University of Washington School of Social Work. I have more than 15 years of experience in social services working with a range of people experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, family conflict, and symptoms of severe, persistent mental illness (SPMI). Over the past five years, I have worked in private practice with a wide range of mental and behavioral health needs. I can collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team – psychiatrists, primary care, and social service agencies.
Locating a therapist whose personality and style will assist you in developing the appropriate skills is essential but necessary. I look forward to helping those to effectively pursue their values and explore what keeps them from being the best version of themselves. Today is a good day to start.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Patricia is a highly versatile and compassionate professional. She is unbelievably kind and sweet. She takes the time to listen and gives feedback I feel and think are extremely solid. I think so far, she has utilized a handful techniques that have been effective in my development. Despite my hesitance of many forms of treatment, it seems her brand of therapy is a good fit for me. She isn’t overbearing nor does she tiptoe around things. She’s not an abuser of trend psychology. She hasn’t mad me feel unheard. She isn’t afraid to ask tough questions. Highly recommend.
I really feel like I connected with Patricia from the start. I absolutely feel that she understands my needs and listens to my concerns as well as guides me to challenge myself for the best answers.
Patricia and I have only had one formal session so far but both before and after that session she has sent emails to me that serve to nudge me to think! As a busy wife, mother and grandmother I have so much to do and my mind is full with the worries and plans of everyday living. Patricia’s emails remind me to think about the subjects of our sessions which is timely and so very effective. Clearly Patricia is a skilled and experienced therapist. I’m enjoying our sessions.
Patricia is great. She understood my issues and followed up with me often. She pointed me to some very valuable tools which I appreciate very much.
She's straightforward and speaks honestly, which is something I really needed. Someone to confront my coping mechanisms and make me take responsibility for myself and my anxieties. I love her approach and mindset surrounding therapy and emphasis on self-help.
Patricia is very attentive and compassionate. She listens well and offers support, encouragement, advice and kindness. Very empathetic.
Patricia is the best therapist I've had yet and it's really convenient to talk through betterhelp! For real.
She is fantastic. She opened a time for me since I work through all her normal times. I am grateful for her.
