About Patricia
Patricia Heiner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 15 years of experience. She holds a master’s in clinical mental health and has provided therapy in both English and Spanish. Patricia speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable and clear.
Patricia focuses on common life stresses such as anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, parenting strains, intimacy issues, and challenges like body image, anger, and sleep problems.
How Patricia works
She pays attention to patterns that keep problems going, such as codependency, control issues, or family of origin wounds. Her approach mixes client-centered care with practical tools. That means listening closely and working together to try things that can change day-to-day life.
She uses strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for emotion regulation, problem solving, and communication. Mindfulness and existential ideas are part of her work too. These help people notice what matters, build meaning, and manage distress in the moment.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s goals. Patricia offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She guides people through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling so therapy fits into busy lives.

How Patricia’s Approaches Work Online
Patricia combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people make practical changes. Client-centered work focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are so goals are clear. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to find small changes that ease anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches concrete skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication during conflict.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia works with each person to identify needs, set goals, and try techniques that fit their life and preferences. She adjusts the mix of listening, skills, and reflection as progress unfolds so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for making that collaboration easier. Video calls are close to an in-person meeting and work well for longer sessions or when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, quick coaching, or support between sessions. These options give flexibility to match timing, pace, and comfort while working toward goals.
