About Patricia

Patricia Uhan is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She aims to create a warm, empathic space where someone can talk through what feels overwhelming and find manageable next steps.

Patricia draws on several therapeutic styles to match each person's needs. She often uses cognitive-behavioral tools to address difficult thoughts and behaviors. She also brings attachment-based ideas to help people understand relationship patterns and how early experiences shape current reactions.

Her background includes work in community mental health settings. That work included supporting survivors of sexual abuse or assault and people coping with PTSD. She has experience with substance use concerns, personality disorder presentations, and with people living with severe and persistent mental illness and dual diagnosis.

Patricia pays attention to each person's cultural identity and life context when planning care. Her typical approach is conversational and practical, focusing on skills you can use between sessions as well as deeper understanding of patterns.

With four years of clinical experience and licensure as an LPC and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), she offers goal-focused therapy that balances insight with concrete strategies. If you want a collaborative therapist who listens and helps you make changes, Patricia may be a good match.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and problems where avoidance gets in the way of living a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. It tends to be useful for depression, anxiety, and for building concrete coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and use brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It also allows practicing skills in everyday settings and moving between insight and practical exercises within a single session.
