About Patti
Patti Mallow offers a calm, nonjudgmental space for people feeling overwhelmed by parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, or past trauma. She emphasizes building trust first and moves at each person's pace so concerns can be addressed without pressure. Patti holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC, and is also a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, in New Mexico.
She brings 12 years of work in agencies focused on domestic violence and sexual assault to her sessions.
Background and approach
That background guides how she responds to trauma, relationship strain, and parenting stress. In sessions she uses straightforward, practical methods. She listens to current struggles, finds what matters most to the client, and helps set small, doable goals.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and build stronger day-to-day habits. Patti has led both individual and group counseling and has supervised other counselors and interns. Her past roles include work on a group foster care ranch and as a program director for a domestic violence and sexual assault agency.
Those experiences inform her focus on communication, boundaries, and practical parenting strategies. Clients can expect a collaborative approach that blends trauma-aware care with solution-focused steps. Patti aims to help people identify values, practice new skills, and make changes that fit their family life and routines.

Using trauma-aware and practical approaches online
Online sessions with Patti draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused methods to address thoughts, feelings, and reactions that come from stressful events. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new coping strategies, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and parenting-related stress. Trauma-focused therapy offers ways to process past harm and build safety and stability in everyday routines, which can reduce the intensity of triggers and improve day-to-day functioning.Patti also integrates client-centered and solution-focused ideas so the work is collaborative. She listens for what matters most to the client, then outlines concrete, short-term goals. Together they test practical changes and adjust the plan based on the client’s needs and priorities rather than imposing a fixed method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit real life. Video is good when visual connection helps the work. Phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth. Live chat or messaging suits quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people access consistent care around work, childcare, or busy days while keeping focus on progress and usable skills.
