More about Patricia

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • 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.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
