About Patunia

She helps with depression, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and eating struggles, and challenges related to ADHD, autism spectrum traits, and young adult transitions. Patunia uses practical conversations and agreed-upon steps to help people make changes that matter to them.
She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW - with ten years of experience.
How Patunia works
Patunia earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Adelphi University and a Master of Social Work from Yeshiva University. She also completed an Advanced Certification in Child Welfare and holds a credential as a Certified School Social Worker. In sessions she focuses on clear goals and steady progress.
Conversations focus on current concerns and on skills and strategies a person can try between meetings. She offers coaching-style support when people want practical steps, and deeper talk when they need to process trauma, grief, or relationship pain. Patunia provides online and phone options so people can fit sessions into busy lives.
She works in English and practices from Connecticut. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, fill out a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Online support options
Approaches and online therapy options
Patunia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach emphasizes building coping skills and routines to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage mood swings; this helps when day-to-day symptoms interfere with work or relationships. Another approach focuses on processing trauma and grief through paced conversations and support, helping people make sense of painful experiences and reduce their ongoing impact.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patunia will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The aim is to match methods to a person's needs, pace, and preferences rather than using a fixed set of techniques.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a work break or low-bandwidth situation, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging is useful for brief updates or ongoing coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into a busy life.
