About Patricia
Patricia Palmer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She draws on a mix of practical therapy methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, and life transitions. Patricia aims to help clients build skills and feel more in control of daily life.
She takes a strengths-focused approach and keeps sessions straightforward. Patricia listens first, then helps set small, concrete steps to tackle problems.
How Patricia works
Sessions often include learning new skills for handling panic, managing mood, improving self-esteem, or coping after trauma. Patricia uses a blend of approaches such as cognitive behavior techniques and acceptance strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and build tolerance for difficult feelings. She also uses attachment-informed ideas to improve relationships and connection.
The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Parents and people facing career or caregiving stress can expect practical suggestions for day-to-day life. When concerns involve pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, or grief, she focuses on coping strategies and rebuilding routine.
Patricia emphasizes small wins and skills that carry over between sessions. Her background includes varied clinical settings across the past decade and a half. Patricia helps people facing isolation, chronic guilt, communication troubles, and questions about life purpose.
She supports those wanting clearer boundaries, more self-love, and better management of panic or social fears.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life direction issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping skills for depression, panic, and social anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, and can help with trust, caregiving strain, and family tensions.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals and try different methods to see what fits. Clients and therapist review progress and adjust direction so the work stays relevant to daily life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy schedule. Chat and messaging are useful for quick reflections, ongoing support, or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options help fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving routines.
