About Chiquita

Chiquita Patterson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 11 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She draws on training in cognitive and solution-focused approaches while keeping a human-centered manner, meeting people where they are and tailoring conversation and plans to each person's needs.

Her background includes work across psychiatric residential programs, intensive in-home services, and outpatient settings for both children and adults, plus supervision of a program supporting young adults around employment, education, and overall wellness.

Patterson has supported people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, ADHD, and issues related to intimacy, parenting, sleep, and career transitions. Her style is relatable and interactive, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and compassion without leaning on stigmatizing labels.

She frames change as a collaborative process and offers practical strategies alongside reflective conversation to help clients move toward their goals.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Chiquita Patterson draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide online work. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or problematic habits through structured, practical exercises. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clients' strengths and short-term goals, encouraging small, actionable steps that move toward meaningful change.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to select and adapt techniques based on their needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into daily life. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing licensed professionals to deliver consistent therapeutic work without requiring the same in-person logistics, which can help maintain continuity of care across changing circumstances.
