About Patricia
Patricia Walker is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people coping with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, trauma and grief, and she lists guilt and shame among her focus areas.
Patricia uses straightforward methods in sessions. She listens, asks direct questions, and helps people notice harmful thinking patterns. She combines Client-Centered techniques with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and DBT skills to address intense emotions and recurring negative thoughts.
She often brings mindfulness exercises into sessions to help slow down strong feelings. Motivational Interviewing is used when clients want to change behaviors but feel stuck. Sessions include practical steps and short skills practice to use between meetings.
Patricia is open to discussing faith and spiritual concerns and works with people from many beliefs as well as those who are not religious. She aims to be respectful of personal values while focusing on workable strategies for daily life.
Her practice also addresses aging and caregiver stress, family-of-origin issues, addiction concerns, domestic violence impacts, and end-of-life or hospice-related questions. People looking for help with isolation, self-worth, or seasonal mood changes may also find relevant support.
To begin, readers are asked to follow the site’s process to match and schedule a first session. The approach is practical, direct, and collaborative, with short exercises and clear steps that people can try between visits.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to what matters most to the client. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns back, asks clarifying questions, and follows the client’s lead to make sessions practical and focused. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through values, faith questions, or relationship regrets.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Patricia uses CBT to identify recurring guilt-driven thoughts, test their accuracy, and try different responses in daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and tolerating distress without reacting in ways that create more regret.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals and preferences. That includes deciding how much skills practice, mindfulness, or motivational interviewing to use as sessions progress.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people choose remote sessions because they fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Online work can make it easier to apply new skills between sessions and to bring real-life examples to conversation.
