About Patricia
Patricia Gillett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of hands-on clinical experience in Arizona. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, addictions, or self-esteem struggles. Patricia also supports people facing anger, parenting challenges, ADHD, and life changes.
Her sessions are calm and patient. She listens first, then works with each person to set practical goals. Patricia uses a mix of approaches so conversations stay grounded and useful rather than abstract.
Background and approach
Patricia draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She brings client-centered and mindfulness methods to keep sessions respectful and present-focused. Dialectical behavior tools and acceptance strategies are used when people need skills for strong emotions and greater day-to-day coping.
Treatment plans are made for the individual. Patricia adapts pacing and techniques to match a person’s needs and comfort level. She encourages small steps that build confidence and momentum.
Starting therapy can feel daunting. Patricia offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space and aims to help people find clearer choices, better coping, and more control over difficult moments.

Practical therapy approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and problems like anger by focusing on what matters rather than getting stuck on difficult feelings.Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities, which is useful when someone needs a steady, empathetic space to talk through grief, stress, or relationship concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches concrete strategies to change thinking patterns and behavior, which can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and help manage impulses related to addiction or anger.
Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on the client’s goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is helpful for deeper, face-to-face conversations. Phone sessions are a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to fit into a break. Live chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, skills practice, or when a quieter format feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
