About Patricia

Patricia Adams is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of professional experience supporting people through significant life challenges. She earned her master’s in counseling and has worked across non-profits, schools, and independent practice settings, developing a practical, strengths-focused approach to care.

Background and approach

Patricia has worked with concerns such as trauma, anxiety, grief, depression, stress, addictions, family and parenting issues, self-esteem, and ADHD. Her style blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused interventions, tailoring sessions to each person’s needs and goals.

Patricia also addresses related areas including abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, codependency, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and invites clients who are ready to take steps toward change to explore tools for coping, problem solving, and long-term growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Patricia incorporates client-centered therapy, which focuses on empathic listening and helping clients explore their own values and goals at their own pace. This approach supports people working through self-esteem concerns, life transitions, and relationship challenges by making the client's experience central to sessions.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a skills-oriented method that helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday coping challenges where concrete strategies and practice can reduce symptoms over time.

Finding the right method is part of the work together rather than a one-time choice. Patricia approaches treatment collaboratively, adapting techniques based on a person's needs, goals, and preferences so clients and therapist can decide which tools fit best.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow continuity when in-person meetings are difficult, and provide multiple ways to communicate depending on comfort and circumstance.
