About Patricia
Patricia Gonzales is a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and life stressors. She focuses on practical ways to reduce anger, anxiety, and depression so daily life feels more manageable. Patricia speaks English and Spanish and practices in New Mexico.
Patricia believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. In sessions she helps people name patterns that cause problems and try small changes to see what helps.
Background and approach
She uses clear, goal-focused strategies alongside listening and reflection. Her approach draws on client-centered work to make sessions collaborative and respectful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help when someone wants to move through a change but feels stuck. Patricia has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep problems, self-esteem issues, and coping with life changes. She also has experience related to hospice and end-of-life counseling and veteran and armed forces issues.
People who reach out can expect straightforward conversations, practical steps to try between sessions, and ongoing review of what is working. Patricia aims to help people build tools they can use long after sessions end.

Approach-driven care online that fits your life
Patricia uses client-centered methods that make the work collaborative and respectful. This approach focuses on the person's perspective, listening to what matters most, and shaping sessions around individual goals to address issues like anger, intimacy concerns, or parenting stress.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different responses to reduce anxiety, panic, or depressive symptoms.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Patricia will work with each person to decide which techniques to try first, adjust strategies based on progress, and combine methods when that better matches the person's goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep consistent momentum toward change.
