She started her career after earning a master’s degree in counseling from the University of South Florida and has worked in schools, non-profits, and private practice settings. Patricia focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma-related concerns.
She uses a straightforward, client-centered style in sessions. That means she listens first and follows what matters most to each person. She combines that approach with practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused work to help people change thoughts and try new behaviors.
Patricia has experience supporting people through life changes, parenting strain, addiction concerns, and mood or stress-related problems. She also addresses issues tied to abandonment, adoption and foster care, codependency, and caregiver burden. Her background includes work with hospice and end-of-life counseling and trauma and post-traumatic stress concerns.
In a typical session she helps clients name what feels hard, set clear goals, and try small, concrete steps between meetings. Sessions emphasize useful strategies for coping, rebuilding self-esteem, and managing overwhelming feelings. Patricia aims to keep things practical and focused on what will help day to day.
People who reach out can expect a calm, attentive space to talk and a collaborative plan to move forward. She communicates in English and practices under her Florida LMHC credential.
How her approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. It helps people feel heard and identify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and handle stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She starts by listening, then suggests a way forward that mixes supportive conversation and targeted exercises based on the person's needs.

Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity during stressful periods. Online work can allow for shorter check-ins, weekday appointments during a break, or regular weekly meetings that slot into an existing routine. Licensed professionals often adapt techniques like CBT worksheets and solution-focused goal-setting to an online setting, keeping the focus on steps clients can try between sessions.
