About Patricia

Patricia Tingler-Baker is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and significant life changes.

Background and approach

She draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods to support clients working through motivation, confidence, and coping challenges, and she pays close attention to issues such as caregiver stress, domestic violence, substance misuse, and workplace concerns. Her style emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore thoughts and emotions openly.

Patricia aims to empower people as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life, working collaboratively to set realistic goals and develop practical skills. She is licensed as an LCSW in Kentucky (KY LCSW 256063) and Tennessee (TN LCSW 7656), and practices from Ohio while offering sessions in English.

Patricia invites clients who are ready to pursue change to begin with a brief assessment and a discussion of priorities. With 20 years of experience, she blends practical strategies and reflective inquiry to help clients build resilience and move toward recovery, healing, and clearer direction.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Patricia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and build concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) complements this work by encouraging values-driven action and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward meaningful life goals. Client-Centered Therapy informs her stance by prioritizing empathy and a respectful, validating relationship that helps clients feel heard and understood.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Patricia is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible for people balancing work, caregiving, or other commitments. These options allow for ongoing skill practice and check-ins between sessions, and they make it easier to maintain continuity of care regardless of location.
