About Patricia

Patricia Klepinger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting struggles, and low self-esteem. She speaks plain, direct language and focuses on practical steps you can use between sessions. Patricia acknowledges how hard it is to reach out and offers a steady, nonjudgmental place to begin.

With three years as an LPC and eight years as a professional school counselor, Patricia brings a mix of clinical and school-based experience to her work. She listens for patterns in how you relate to others and to yourself, and she helps you notice what gets in the way of feeling steady. Her work often addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, caregiver stress, and emotions like guilt or shame.

Patricia draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and goals. She also uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to build skills for managing anxiety, panic, and mood shifts. Solutions-focused ideas are used when clients want concrete steps and quick changes.

In sessions she aims to help people develop clearer self-compassion and healthier ways to handle life changes. Practical goals may include improving boundaries, reducing panic symptoms, or finding more meaning in daily life. Patricia partners with clients to set realistic steps and measure progress over time.

People who prefer respectful, straightforward support tend to find her style helpful. She works in English and practices in Texas as an LPC.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead to build trust and clarity. It helps when someone needs a calm, accepting presence and wants to set their own pace for change.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and finding what matters most in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for panic, mood struggles, and anxiety.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit, and adjust when something does not feel right. That collaborative process is part of how progress is made.

For practical planning, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will fit your schedule and needs, and she will help match a style and plan that suit your goals.
