Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at helping people find better ways to cope and move forward.
Patricia creates an affirming space that attends to cultural differences and to experiences of prejudice and discrimination.
Background and approach
She pays close attention to how identity, gender concerns, and past hurts shape everyday reactions. Sessions focus on listening first, then building small, achievable steps toward change. Her work uses common evidence-based practices in plain terms.

Mindfulness and motivational techniques are used to strengthen motivation and to slow down impulsive reactions. Over her career she has supported people through sexual assault, post-traumatic stress, self-harm concerns, and complicated grief.
She also helps with parenting strain, career shifts, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue. Clients can expect a calm, respectful presence and a collaborative plan tailored to their goals. Patricia is licensed in Louisiana as an LCSW.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person and their goals. Sessions emphasize listening, respect, and working at the client’s pace to build trust and self-direction. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through hard feelings and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. The therapist helps clients spot unhelpful thinking and practice different behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or anger. It works well for people who want concrete tools and homework they can use between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That means adjusting strategies over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions can be delivered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match practical needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer brief support between meetings and flexible ways to stay connected. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other responsibilities.
