She has helped me see other aspects of myself and personality that I didn’t see and with her help she has helped me understand why I have always felt that others would misinterpret me and that they’re rare personality types and that instead of perceiving it as a bad thing she helped me learn how to appreciate the uniqueness of my personality and it takes to time for others to understand and learn the different aspects and traits. I needed help in seeing things in myself that I didn’t see and she is helping me through those insecurities in the first 3 sessions and making amazing progress. She is very kind, resourceful, understanding and very good listener. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for her style and approach on her therapist techniques and expertise. :)

More about Patricia

  • 25 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I have been a counselor since 1991 and licensed in Texas for the past 6 years. I specialize in PTSD, anxiety, depression, and utilize an eclectic base of counseling theories and techniques. I am client centered so I use the approach that works best for each individual client. I have worked with individuals of all ages and backgrounds and enjoy providing techniques that can help with issues presented to me. I have also worked with children as young as 6 and also with teenagers. I am trained in EMDR therapy also. I like to get to know each client to make sure they are comfortable with me and my approach in therapy in order to obtain the best results. I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
