About Patricia
Patricia DeBor uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and major life changes. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, with 15 years of experience and a calm, direct style that aims to reduce overwhelm and restore forward motion. Patricia blends therapy methods to match each person's needs.
Sessions focus on identifying specific concerns and building tools that fit day-to-day life. She emphasizes clear steps and small changes people can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Her background includes independent practice, work with the military community, and roles in higher education. That range of settings contributes to a flexible approach for different life circumstances and transitions. Patricia often helps people facing career shifts, grief and loss, first responder or veteran-related issues, and process addictions such as gambling or exercise problems.
She also supports those coping with sexual assault, seasonal affective disorder, hospice or end-of-life concerns, and jealousy. In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered listening. The work is collaborative: she and the client set goals and try practical strategies together.
Patricia aims for clear progress while respecting each person's pace. People meet with her by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Sessions are scheduled through an online matching and booking process that aligns with therapist availability.
Practical approaches for online support
Patricia often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and most situations where there are clear thoughts and actions to change.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and the person's own goals. That approach focuses on validating experiences, building trust, and shaping therapy around what the client wants to work on.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will talk through your situation, goals, and preferences and recommend methods to try. The plan can change as you learn what helps most, making the process collaborative rather than fixed.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, quick problem solving, or continued support between full sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep working toward goals on a schedule that suits you.
