About Patricia
Patricia Gillett is an Arizona-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 18 years of direct practice supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She draws on cognitive-behavioral methods alongside acceptance-based and client-centered approaches to help clients make practical changes while honoring individual values and strengths.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, ADHD, self-esteem concerns, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, and other complex life transitions. Patricia emphasizes a compassionate, patient-centered style that values respect and collaboration.
She tailors sessions and treatment plans to each person’s needs, blending evidence-informed techniques such as CBT, ACT, DBT, mindfulness, and client-centered work to build coping skills, increase motivation, and address behavioral patterns.
Clients can expect an individualized process focused on realistic goals and skill development, with the therapist offering steady support and practical tools to move toward a more fulfilling life. Available in English and practicing in Arizona, Patricia uses a flexible, strength-based perspective to help people navigate change and regain a sense of agency and balance.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Patricia draws on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill development, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and habit-related concerns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support clients in clarifying values and building psychological flexibility through acceptance and mindful action, a helpful path for stress, grief, and life changes. Additionally, her client-centered orientation emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and can guide the pace and focus of work.Choosing the right approach is often an evolving process, and Patricia works collaboratively to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She individualizes treatment plans and may blend techniques across CBT, ACT, DBT, mindfulness, and client-centered work to create a tailored path forward.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access support from locations across Arizona and beyond without traveling to an office. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy schedules and to continue work between appointments using messaging or chat when helpful.
