About Patricia
Patricia Lord is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with ten years of experience. She focuses on parenting concerns alongside anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and trauma. Patricia works with adolescents, teens, and young adults as well as adults facing life transitions.
She listens for each person’s story and helps people find practical steps forward. Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on daily routines, relationships, and coping skills.
Background and approach
Patricia often uses mindful awareness to reduce overwhelm and cognitive tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns. Parents will find support for common struggles like co-parenting, step parenting, and handling expectations. She also assists with attachment worries, adjustment after divorce, and challenges that arise during postpartum periods.
Conversations address behaviors, boundaries, and healthier ways to relate. Work with teens includes handling self-harm behaviors that are non-suicidal, anxiety, depression, and learning emotional regulation skills. Patricia helps young people practice boundaries, manage stress, and build self-esteem in plain, doable steps.
Her approach combines client-centered listening, mindfulness exercises, cognitive behavioral techniques, and solution-focused planning. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, so clients leave with clear small steps to try between meetings. Patricia aims to help people feel more capable in day-to-day life and parenting challenges.

Approaches that guide online parenting and life work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns, and helps people identify goals that matter to them. This approach is useful when someone needs a compassionate space to sort out parenting doubts or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches specific strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with stress around relationships and parenting.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they adjust methods so sessions focus on clear steps the client can try between meetings.
Online therapy can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone fits when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and workdays.
