About Patti

Patti Mallow offers therapy for people navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, and life transitions, meeting clients where they are and working at a pace that feels manageable.

Background and approach

She emphasizes establishing a trusting rapport so clients can explore family conflicts, parenting challenges, self-esteem, workplace concerns, and recovery from abuse or sexual assault with a steady, compassionate guide. Patti brings 12 years of clinical experience and holds licensure as an LPC and LPCC in Texas and New Mexico respectively.

Much of her practice grew from agency work supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, where she provided individual and group counseling, supervised staff and interns, and developed practical skills-based interventions. Her background also includes time in group foster care settings and program leadership, which informs a pragmatic approach to helping clients translate insight into everyday change.

Her work draws on trauma-focused and client-centered principles alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address symptoms of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, eating concerns, and compassion fatigue. Patti frames therapy as collaborative; she helps clients identify values, set realistic goals, and practice skills that support healthier communication, boundaries, and self-care.

Online approaches that support healing and practical change



Patti commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing concrete skills to shift reactions and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on understanding the effects of traumatic experiences and building coping tools to reduce symptom impact and support emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach often happens together; Patti collaborates with clients to explore what feels most helpful based on individual goals, history, and preferences. She emphasizes a partnership model where therapeutic methods are adjusted over time so the plan remains relevant and responsive.

Online therapy with Patti is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and use formats that best support how a client likes to communicate and practice skills between sessions.
