About Patricia
Patricia Tingler-Baker is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. She also supports people facing low self-esteem, life changes, and struggles with motivation. Patricia is based in Ohio and conducts sessions in English.
She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what matters most to the person sitting across from her.
How Patricia works
Patricia emphasizes practical steps and steady support rather than quick fixes. Her work often addresses caregiver strain, workplace stress, and the emotional fallout from trauma such as domestic violence. She also helps with issues like guilt, forgiveness, loneliness, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and financial worries that affect mood and daily functioning.
Patricia draws on several therapy approaches to match each person's needs. She may use acceptance and commitment techniques to help clarify values and build meaningful action. Cognitive-behavioral tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and learn different ways to respond.
People can expect a collaborative style that balances empathy with skill-building. Sessions can include goal-setting, coping skills, and real-world practice between visits. Patricia encourages small steps and celebrates progress along the way.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward a meaningful life. Online sessions can guide someone to notice what matters most and commit to actions that line up with those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. In remote sessions this often means practicing new skills during and between meetings and tracking patterns over time. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, comfort level, and daily routine. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting them as progress is made. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and do deeper conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions, manage small setbacks, and keep momentum when schedules are tight. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.Start online instead of waiting
