About Patricia
Patricia Wong is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience helping people address addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She offers straightforward, practical support and adapts her style to each person’s needs. Patricia can be direct and active when that helps, and she can also listen quietly and offer calm, respectful support.
She focuses on finding workable solutions. Patricia uses cognitive behavioral methods and motivational interviewing to identify unhelpful patterns and build new coping skills.
How Patricia works
She also draws from emotionally-focused and client-centered approaches to help people feel heard while they work through painful experiences. Patricia helps people who are dealing with grief, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, or life transitions. She also supports people navigating sexuality, non-monogamous relationships, parenting strain, and challenges related to bipolar disorder, ADHD, or other mood concerns.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Patricia and the client map out symptoms, set small steps, and track progress. She emphasizes clear tools you can use between sessions to manage stress, improve relationships, and reduce risky behaviors.
Patricia practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Her approach is grounded in respect, real compassion, and a belief that life can improve even after hard experiences. If someone is struggling with past pain or anxious thoughts about the future, she offers steady support to move toward a healthier routine.

How Patricia Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding with empathy. In online sessions this means the therapist helps people name their feelings and priorities, then follows their lead to set goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence each other. Online CBT sessions usually include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavior changes between meetings to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She adapts techniques over time, mixing direct skill teaching with reflective, emotionally focused conversation so the plan fits the individual.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and demonstrations of coping skills. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers voice-only check-ins. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, quick skill reminders, or when a written thread helps track progress. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity between sessions.
