About Patsy

Parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, relationship struggles, and communication problems are also among her focus areas.
How Patsy works
Her approach centers on Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions start with what matters most to the person in front of her. Patsy listens first, then offers tools and perspectives that match each person's goals. She aims to create a calm space where feelings can be named and practical steps planned.
Patsy blends coaching skills with counseling to help clients set goals and take small, sustainable actions. She can help people clarify life purpose, practice forgiveness, and strengthen self-love while attending to multicultural concerns and veteran or armed forces related issues. Starting therapy with Patsy is described as a collaborative process.

Online support options
Client-centered care through online therapy
Patsy uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead. That approach helps when someone needs to talk through self-esteem, relationship concerns, life changes, or stress. It keeps sessions grounded in the client’s priorities and feelings.She combines that with coaching-style work to translate insight into action. That means setting small goals, planning steps between sessions, and checking progress together. Deciding on an approach is collaborative: Patsy will help figure out what fits best based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing coaching, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
