About Patricia
Patricia Manning is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of clinical experience who draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside attachment-informed and client-centered approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship concerns.
Background and approach
She frames therapy around practical strategies and collaborative exploration, helping clients address immediate problems or work more deeply on life purpose, self-esteem, and coping with major changes.
Patricia’s background includes long-term work with children and families affected by violence, foster care and adoption, and residential and community treatment settings, which informs her understanding of attachment, family dynamics, and trauma-related concerns.
Her practice integrates evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, and mindfulness alongside an existential perspective that considers loss, responsibility, and meaning as part of human development. Patricia emphasizes individualized care, using techniques chosen for best-practice fit with each client’s situation, and supports goals ranging from symptom management to deeper personal growth.
She provides services from Oregon and offers sessions via video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different needs and schedules.
Therapeutic approaches for online healing and skill building
Patricia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms through practical skills and structured practice. She also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns of relating and connection, useful for addressing relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and family dynamics. When trauma is a central concern, elements of EMDR may be used as part of a trauma-informed plan to address distressing memories and associated symptoms.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process in her work. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and the presenting concerns together, and methods are adjusted over time so treatment remains aligned with what the client finds most helpful and relevant.
Online therapy with this practitioner is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow clients to access licensed professionals from their own location, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and select the communication method that best fits their needs.
