About Patricia
Patricia Gordon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, addictions, and questions about intimacy or identity. Her work also covers parenting challenges, career shifts, compassion fatigue, and issues related to aging and blended families.
Patricia uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person's goals at the center of each session. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more realistic ones. Mindfulness and emotion-focused ideas are woven into sessions to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed.
Sessions are collaborative and practical. Patricia listens first, then offers tools that fit each person's daily life. She aims to create a respectful and affirming space where clients guide the pace and focus of work.
With 15 years in social services and a Master of Social Work from the University of Washington, Patricia has supported people across public and private settings. In recent years she has worked in private practice and alongside psychiatrists, primary care, and social service agencies when coordination was helpful.
People who want clear goals, hands-on coping strategies, and an empathetic listener often find her style approachable. She encourages clients to notice what matters to them and take small steps toward more meaningful routines and relationships.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Patricia commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's values and priorities, letting the client steer what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thought patterns and teaches practical ways to change thinking that leads to unhelpful feelings or behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Patricia works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as priorities change, and she checks in with clients to make sure the plan still fits.
Confirm current session options before booking, because formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It also lets people continue work during life transitions or when coordinating with other providers may be helpful.
