About Patricia
Patricia Salinas is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and family challenges. She supports parents facing divorce or custody issues and people coping with grief, addiction, workplace problems, or major life changes. Patricia speaks English and Spanish and draws on five years of clinical counseling experience alongside a long career serving state clients.
Her approach is warm and straightforward. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation.
Background and approach
She treats clients with respect and avoids stigmatizing labels. Patricia emphasizes clients' strengths and works to build confidence and clearer choices. In sessions she combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques.
That means listening closely, reflecting what matters to you, and trying strategies that change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses emotionally focused ideas to help sort through relationship patterns and solution-focused methods to set short-term goals. Patricia adapts the plan to each person's situation.
She offers coaching-style support when people want actionable next steps. She also helps with deeper trauma or abuse work at a pace each person can handle. Her background includes extensive state-level work supporting families, children, adolescents, and adults in high-stress situations.
That experience informs how she approaches parenting concerns, blended family issues, immigration-related stress, and workplace conflict. Patricia aims to make therapy practical and doable for people with busy lives.
How her approaches translate to online care
Patricia uses client-centered therapy to listen closely to what matters most to you and build a plan around your goals. That approach helps when people need support processing feelings, making parenting decisions, or addressing family conflict.She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical techniques that change behavior. CBT can be useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and workplace or relationship patterns. Emotionally focused ideas are used when relationships and attachment patterns are central to the work, helping people name emotions and try new ways of relating.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Patricia will talk through your needs, goals, and preferences and decide together what methods to try. She adapts her plan as you progress so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, follow-up notes, or when a shorter format feels easier to use.
