About Patricia
Patricia Adams is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting challenges. She earned a master’s degree in counseling and has worked across nonprofit, school, and personal settings. Patricia is straightforward and practical in sessions, focusing on what matters most to each person.
In the room she listens first and asks simple questions to understand daily struggles. Then she uses tools from cognitive behavioral and client-centered approaches to change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills.
Background and approach
Sessions are goal-oriented and paced to what each person can handle. Patricia often helps parents who feel overwhelmed by behavior, routines, or the pressure of caregiving. She also supports people facing trauma, loss, addictions, or big life changes.
When needed she combines solution-focused techniques with trauma-informed care to address immediate concerns and long-term recovery. Her style is warm, direct, and collaborative. She explains strategies plainly and practices them together with the person in session.
Homework or short exercises are offered when useful to reinforce progress between meetings. Patricia works with people on self-esteem, anger, mood concerns, and concerns tied to adoption, abandonment, or family conflict. She adapts methods to fit each person’s pace and goals, helping them find clearer choices and steadier days.

How Patricia’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s view of their life. It helps people feel heard and guides conversations toward what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers clear steps to change those patterns; it is helpful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday struggles.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patricia treats the choice as collaborative and will discuss goals, preferences, and how you respond to different methods. Together you can try an approach, adjust it, or blend techniques until something fits your needs and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls are useful for longer sessions and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when a short conversation fits into a busy day. These options let people fit therapy around work, family, and caregiving responsibilities while keeping the same therapeutic aims.
