About Patricia

Patricia Heiner is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing strong emotions, relationship strain, substance concerns, and life transitions. Patricia works in both English and Spanish and draws on a range of practical methods to support change.

Her training began with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s in clinical mental health from the University of Colorado Colorado Springs.

Background and approach

Over the years she has worked with civilian and military populations on issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, blended family challenges, and addiction. This background shapes a down-to-earth approach to therapy. Patricia’s style is accepting and encouraging.

She aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through problems, try new ways of responding, and practice skills. Sessions typically focus on problem solving, managing intense feelings such as anger, improving communication, and setting realistic goals. She uses practical techniques from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior strategies, existential ideas, and mindfulness.

Those tools are chosen to fit each person’s situation, whether the work centers on grief, eating or sleeping problems, career stress, or coping with major life changes. Patricia offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People who want to start complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

How Patricia’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experience, with the therapist listening closely and offering support rather than directing the process. This approach helps people who need a respectful, nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep or eating issues.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It emphasizes practical tools for dealing with overwhelming feelings and building better communication habits.

Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then try approaches that match those needs. Adjustments are common as work progresses so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow real-time face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions are good when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, skill practice, or work between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and varied schedules.
