About Patricia

Patricia Godwin is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience offering compassionate, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, grief, addiction concerns, trauma, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She blends a respectful, nonjudgmental stance with goal-oriented techniques to help clients clarify priorities, build coping skills, and move toward healthier patterns in work and relationships. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and adaptability: sessions are shaped around each person's needs and readiness for change, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered principles to address thoughts, behaviors, and emotional responses.

She also uses solution-focused strategies and motivational interviewing to strengthen motivation and identify small, achievable steps forward. Patricia adapts interventions to concerns like career setbacks, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and issues related to aging, medical crises, or major life changes.

Based in Utah, she provides a calm, interactive style that values respect and sensitivity without stigmatizing labels. Patricia encourages prospective clients to take the first step toward a more fulfilling life and offers support tailored to individual goals and circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access



Patricia commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, empathic relationship where the therapist listens without judgment and helps clients explore their own goals and values.

She also draws on solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable steps and motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then tailor methods to fit those needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and health demands. These options support continuity of care and make it possible to engage in therapy from different locations while working with licensed professionals who adapt techniques to an online format.
