About Patricia
Patricia Cunningham is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of counseling experience based in Tennessee. She offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Patricia focuses on helping clients build confidence and steady skills they can use day to day.
She emphasizes clear communication and practical steps. Sessions focus on identifying what feels out of balance and learning tools to reduce panic and social anxiety.
How Patricia works
Patricia also helps people cope with life changes like separation, caregiving strain, and the aftermath of painful events. Therapy with her centers on real conversations and simple strategies. She works with clients to improve self-esteem, practice self-love, and restore a sense of control.
When trauma is present, she aims to help people manage symptoms and move toward forgiveness if that feels right for them. Patricia has worked across different cultures for over 20 years in varied roles before and during her clinical practice. That background informs a flexible approach that respects each person’s pace and perspective.
Her style is patient, encouraging, and focused on practical results. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled online. People choose formats that fit their life - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Patricia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people learn concrete coping skills to manage panic, anxiety, and everyday stress by teaching breathing, grounding, and thought-management strategies. Another approach addresses traumatic memories and the problems they cause by helping clients reduce symptom intensity and build steady routines to feel safer in daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Sessions can be adjusted over time so the approach matches progress and changing priorities.
Online formats offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face work when interaction matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for brief check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, and times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options let people connect in ways that suit their routine and energy level.
