About Patricia
Patricia Uhan is a licensed professional counselor who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She writes plainly, listens closely, and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Patricia aims to make therapy feel manageable for someone juggling parenting, work, or daily demands.
Patricia draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
How Patricia works
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current trust and safety in relationships. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify their values and take small, value-driven steps.
Her background includes work in community mental health settings in Missouri where she supported people who experienced sexual abuse or assault and those with PTSD, substance use concerns, and complex, persistent mental health conditions. That experience shaped how she responds to trauma, crisis, and overlapping challenges like co-morbid diagnoses. Patricia describes her style as warm and empathetic.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and practical with room for emotional processing. She pays attention to cultural identity and how it affects healing and everyday coping. With four years of clinical experience and credentials as an LPC and LMHC, Patricia offers a steady, straightforward presence.
She helps people set realistic goals, practice skills between sessions, and gradually build more stable routines and relationships.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Patricia uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which often involves simple exercises and homework that work well over video or messaging. Attachment-based therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how they affect trust and connection; this approach supports conversations about relationship history and present-day reactions. Acceptance and commitment therapy encourages people to name their values and take small steps toward them, a process that can be broken into short, practical tasks between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they choose strategies and adjust the plan as progress is made or priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill coaching and emotional work. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, real-time skill practice, or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other obligations.
