Background and approach
Her background includes agency work with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. That work involved both individual and group counseling and supervising other counselors and student interns. These roles shaped her focus on trauma, safety, and practical coping skills.
Patti is licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, in Texas and as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, in New Mexico. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to tailor sessions to each person.
She has also worked in group foster care and program leadership roles, which informs her approach to parenting concerns, values discovery, and putting new skills into daily life. Patti aims to help people reduce overwhelm and build routines that fit their real schedules. Patti values clear communication and steady progress.
Sessions focus on practical tools, honest conversation, and adapting strategies as needs change.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Patti uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where people decide what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs time to feel heard and to name their goals.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and trying small experiments to change them. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and practical skills like sleep, routines, and managing stress.
Patti treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps match strategies to real-life needs.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and messaging work well for short check-ins, coaching-style support, or ongoing reminders and practice between sessions.
These formats give flexibility to fit counseling into busy days and support steady momentum toward goals without needing in-person visits.
