So I've been through three sessions with my therapist now, and I have to say, I highly recommend her and she's well versed in multiple disciplines and multiple fields and understands a lot of things. I'd highly recommend her for anybody dealing with relationship issues, social issues, anxiety or depression issues, etc.

More about Patricia
- 25 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I have been working in the field of mental health for nearly 25 years, doing Assertive Community Treatment at first, then case management, and now mental health therapy for the past ten years. My passion is to work with those who struggle with both mental health and addiction issues. I have a Masters degree is counseling/psychology from Michigan State University, and this has allowed me to work in the field as a Licensed Professional Counselor, both as a supervisor and most recently as a direct service provider for mental health services.
My approach very much depends on the needs of my clients, and I strive to collaborate with them along the way, to ensure a more positive outcome. I have worked with clients who have issues of anxiety, depression, anger, personality and marriage conflict, relationship, stress, stage of life issues, and addictions, among others. My style is collaborative and solution focused, with treatment plans based on client centered plans, always directed by the client and their learning styles.
I have loved my work in the field of mental health and I have enjoyed the benefit of getting to know the wonderful people who seek mental health services to improve the quality of their lives.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
