About Patricia
Patricia Uhan is a licensed professional counselor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, anger, and depression. She works with people who feel stuck by patterns like codependency or attachment wounds and with those facing the long shadow of past abuse. Patricia writes in a direct, compassionate way and aims to make therapy feel approachable and practical.
She brings four years of clinical experience in community mental health and related settings. That work included helping survivors of sexual abuse or assault and supporting people with PTSD, substance use concerns, and co-occurring mental health conditions. Patricia has also supported people with severe and persistent mental illness and dual diagnoses in diverse communities.
Her style is warm and empathetic. She adapts her method to each person’s needs and goals, drawing from cognitive behavioral approaches, attachment-based ideas, acceptance and commitment principles, client-centered work, and dialectical behavior tools. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on building skills to manage intense feelings and improve relationships.
Patricia pays attention to cultural identity and life context when planning care. She aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try different ways of responding, and practice new skills between sessions. The goal is clearer self-understanding and more workable choices in everyday life.
To begin, she asks people to share what matters most to them and then works collaboratively to set practical steps forward.
How her approaches translate to online work
Patricia uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT often focuses on short-term goals and practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That work helps people understand connection and codependency patterns and experiment with new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Patricia will work with each person to decide which methods suit their situation and goals. That choice is collaborative and may change as work progresses.
