About Patricia
Patricia Bartley is an LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) practicing in North Carolina with 22 years of experience. She works with people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Patricia also supports those facing guilt and shame alongside issues such as panic, mood changes, and postpartum depression.
She bases her work on client-centered principles and uses mindfulness in sessions. Patricia listens for patterns in how someone communicates and reacts when under stress. She helps people name difficult emotions and learn ways to respond that feel more manageable.
Patricia often focuses on attachment and the ways early connections shape current relationships. That can mean looking at family of origin issues, abandonment concerns, or patterns that lead to isolation and loneliness. She talks through how these patterns show up now and what might shift them.
Cognitive Behavioral techniques are part of her toolkit when thoughts and behaviors keep someone stuck. Emotionally-Focused approaches come into play when relationships or close bonds are the main concern. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to help with stress, panic, and mood regulation.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions involve naming emotions, exploring communication, and practicing manageable skills between meetings. Clients are guided to notice small changes that reduce the weight of guilt and shame over time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Patricia uses Attachment-Based ideas to notice how early connections shape current relationships and feelings. That approach helps when patterns of abandonment, loneliness, or communication problems affect daily life. Client-Centered work means sessions focus on what the person brings that day, with listening and reflection to clarify concerns and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or panic.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Patricia will discuss how these methods might apply to the issues you bring and adjust based on your goals and how you respond. The aim is to find a mix of strategies that feels practical and respectful of your pace.
