About Patunia
Patunia Medy offers straightforward, goal-focused support for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or angry. She listens without judgment and helps clients set clear steps toward change. Her style is practical and direct, aimed at helping people manage strong feelings and day-to-day challenges.
Patunia brings ten years of social work experience to her practice. She holds a Master of Social Work from Yeshiva University and a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology from Adelphi University.
Background and approach
She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, abbreviated LCSW, and also holds an Advanced Certification in Child Welfare along with certification as a school social worker. In sessions she helps people name what’s most urgent, break problems into manageable parts, and try new ways of responding. Conversations focus on skills you can use between sessions, not just talking about the past.
She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, ADHD, and anger. Patunia also supports young adult issues and helps people on the autism spectrum or with Asperger syndrome navigate life transitions. She tailors the pace and methods to each person’s needs and goals.
Her approach is collaborative - she and the client choose what to work on together. Sessions are offered remotely for people located in Connecticut. People can expect clear next steps and a focus on practical change across sessions.

Evidence-based techniques for online support
Patunia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotion management. One common approach she uses teaches concrete coping skills for strong feelings, such as grounding, breathing, and step-by-step problem solving to reduce anger and anxiety. These techniques help people respond differently in triggering moments.She also incorporates strategies that look at patterns between thoughts, emotions, and behavior. By identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors, clients can see what works in daily life for mood, sleep, and relationships. For people adjusting to life changes or dealing with trauma, this approach helps break problems into manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patunia collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and pace. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods as needed so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and varying needs. Video calls let people maintain face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow for short updates, coaching between sessions, or ongoing support without a full session. These options make it easier to get consistent help while juggling work, family, or school.
