About Patricia
Patricia Adams is a licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience in Florida. She earned a master’s degree in counseling from the University of South Florida and has held her Florida LMHC credential since 2005. Patricia communicates directly and simply about what therapy looks like, offering steady support for people making hard changes.
She has worked in non-profits, schools, and private practice. Over the years she has helped people dealing with trauma, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She also supports people facing codependency, caregiving stress, addiction, and mood concerns.
In sessions she focuses on practical conversations and steps that clients can try between meetings. Expect straightforward, goal-oriented work that still leaves room for listening and reflection. She uses familiar methods such as cognitive behavioral tools, client-centered listening, and solution-focused planning.
Patricia frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people identify patterns that get in the way and then practices small changes together. The aim is clearer thinking, better coping, and more confidence in handling everyday stressors.
Her practice is based in Florida and her work is conducted in English. People who want a calm, experienced counselor for common concerns like anxiety, trauma, parenting strain, or life changes often find her style approachable and practical.
How her approaches inform online work
Patricia commonly uses client-centered ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques in her work. Client-centered therapy means she listens closely and follows each person’s lead, helping them name what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Choosing the best approach is part of therapy. Patricia will talk with each client about goals, what has helped before, and what feels manageable. Together they will pick methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, so sessions reflect the person’s needs and preferences.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing commute time and allowing meetings during work breaks or from other locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins or more flexible scheduling when that helps maintain momentum between sessions.
