About Patricia
Patricia Uhan is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She writes and talks plainly in sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Patricia is based in Missouri and works in English.
She spent time in community mental health settings supporting people who survived sexual abuse and assault, which gave her hands-on experience with post-traumatic stress and related challenges.
Background and approach
She has also worked with people managing substance use, personality concerns, and those living with severe and persistent mental illness alongside co-occurring conditions. Patricia pulls from several familiar methods to match each person’s needs. She uses cognitive-behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.
She brings attachment-based ideas to understand close relationships and how they affect current struggles. Her style is warm and empathetic. Sessions aim to be collaborative, with Patricia listening first and then suggesting straightforward techniques.
She pays attention to cultural background and how identity shapes what someone needs in therapy. With four years of clinical experience as an LPC and LMHC, Patricia focuses on helping people build coping skills, improve communication, and reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life.
She treats each person as an individual and adjusts her approach based on what works for them.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on actions that align with personal values and can be useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help with trust, closeness, and communication issues.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Patricia will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process may include trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting over time based on what helps.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue care across different locations.
