About Patricia
Patricia (Trish) Pennix helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or burned out. She connects with clients in a direct, down-to-earth way and focuses on practical steps to reduce stress and manage strong emotions like anger. Trish brings eight years of counseling experience as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York.
She centers sessions on what each person needs most, listening first and shaping a plan that fits daily life.
Background and approach
That plan might address anxiety, depression, mood concerns, substance use, relationship strain, or career stress. Her approach draws from client-centered work that values the person in front of her. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and mindfulness to build calmer responses.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas help people find small, realistic changes that lead to progress. In sessions she aims to build self-worth and strengthen practical skills. Conversations include identifying triggers, trying new coping tools, and practicing different ways of handling conflict.
Trish often supports people coping with caregiving strain, family-of-origin issues, grief around life transitions, and the complicated feelings that follow infidelity or domestic violence. Her work is collaborative. She partners with clients to set goals and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
For those who prefer remote options, Trish offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-centered therapy means sessions start with the client's experience and goals. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people name their priorities so work stays focused on what matters to them.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses simple exercises and practice between sessions to change unhelpful thinking and improve mood and behavior. Mindfulness therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and support calmer responses to stress or anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their style, and adjust plans as needed. That collaboration helps decide whether CBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, or solution-focused work is most useful.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth supports it. Phone calls can be a simpler option when video is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework, or stepping through a coping skill between sessions. These choices aim to make care more flexible and easier to use alongside daily responsibilities.
