More about Patricia
- 20 years' experience

- LCSW
As a licensed therapist with two decades of experience in Florida, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on addressing depression, anxiety, stress, and self-esteem challenges with compassionate, evidence-based approaches. I have extensive expertise in working with diverse populations, including young adults, women, and older adults experiencing life transitions, trauma, and interpersonal challenges.
My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in understanding each person's unique journey. I offer supportive guidance for individuals navigating social anxiety, panic disorders, mood fluctuations, and relationship dynamics. With a commitment to multicultural sensitivity, I create a safe, affirming space where clients can explore personal growth, healing, and emotional resilience.
I am dedicated to helping clients develop meaningful coping strategies, rebuild self-confidence, and cultivate healthier emotional patterns. Whether you're struggling with life transitions, family challenges, or personal growth, I'm here to support you with empathy, respect, and professional expertise.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

She's awesome
Patricia is caring and listens, she always helps me feel better
Generally just a very helpful and understanding individual, who does a good job of making up for areas she's not familiar in. Very appreciated so far, and I do feel it's been helping.
After trying other therapists that did not work out, I found Patricia! She is amazing! Truly listens and understands my concerns and feelings. I am very grateful to have found her!
Patricia is very caring, professional, considerate and empathetic. She is a wonderful therapist. And although I don’t know her in real life, I’m sure she’s a wonderful human being.
