About Patricia

Patricia (Patti) Beckwith is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem concerns, motivation struggles, and ADHD.

Background and approach

With six years of clinical experience, she draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to help clients manage life changes, cope with trauma and loss, address relationship and intimacy issues, and work through challenges such as addiction, career stress, and chronic illness.

Patti also offers support for a broad set of related concerns including parenting, sleep and eating issues, compassion fatigue, and midlife transitions. Her style centers on respectful, sensitive, and compassionate engagement.

She collaborates with each person to tailor conversations and treatment plans to their specific situation, combining practical skills with deeper therapeutic work. Patti uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and Motivational Interviewing to meet clients where they are and support meaningful change.

She encourages taking that first step and works to create a clear, individualized path forward for people ready to begin therapy.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility through mindful awareness and committed action; it can help when stress, anxiety, or life transitions make decision-making and motivation difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for depression, anxiety, sleep and eating concerns, and many everyday challenges. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity through structured phases of work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patti will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adapting techniques as needed rather than adhering to a single method from the outset.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or geographic constraints. These options allow for regular check-ins, skill-building between sessions, and continued support when in-person visits aren’t practical, making it easier to maintain momentum toward therapy goals.
