About Chiquita
Chiquita Patterson is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses practical, down-to-earth methods to help people make changes. She works from North Carolina and brings more than a decade of counseling experience to sessions. Her style is interactive and respectful, and she avoids stigmatizing labels when someone is struggling.

Background and approach
That variety shaped how she approaches common life problems. She helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting challenges. She also supports those coping with trauma, domestic violence, sexual assault and abuse, addiction, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and issues around self-esteem and career transitions.
In session she blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to match each person’s needs. Conversations focus on clear goals, practical steps, and skills that can be used between meetings. Sessions are collaborative so people can try approaches and adjust as they go.
Patterson aims to empower clients and build workable plans for change. She frames therapy as a process that takes courage and practical effort. If someone is ready to begin, she guides them through the early steps and next appointments.
Therapeutic tools and online care that fit your life
Chiquita draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to guide online work. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and focuses on practical steps to change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention practices that can reduce reactivity and improve coping with strong emotions.She treats online therapy as a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try different approaches, and decide together which methods feel most helpful. Adjustments are expected as the work progresses so the plan stays tailored to the client's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling more reachable. Video suits in-depth conversations and skill-building, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets someone send notes between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
