About Patricia

Patricia Adams is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of clinical experience. She holds an LMHC and has developed a practice shaped by work in non-profit agencies, school settings, and independent practice.

Background and approach

Her background includes support for people facing trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and parenting or family concerns, and she draws on evidence-informed methods to address those issues. Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and solution-focused techniques to help clients build practical skills, explore personal values, and set achievable goals.

Patricia often focuses on coping with life changes, improving self-esteem, and processing difficult emotions such as anger or sadness, and she also has experience with ADHD, addiction-related concerns, and post-traumatic stress. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and emphasizes steady progress through concrete strategies and empathic listening.

Patricia works with adults and caregivers who are navigating transitions, relationship challenges, or the long-term effects of trauma. She offers multiple online session formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences, and guides clients through a clear onboarding process to begin work together.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and practical change

Patricia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, or mood-related difficulties. This approach focuses on practicing new behaviors and thought strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients' perspectives and values guide the work. That approach supports exploration of emotions and personal goals while the therapist provides empathic understanding and encouragement.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Patricia treats this as a collaborative effort. She will work with each person to weigh options, tailor techniques to individual needs, and adjust the plan as progress and preferences become clearer.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and geographic limitations. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and allow continued contact between sessions, while still focusing on developing skills, processing difficult experiences, and moving toward identified goals.
