About Patricia

Patricia Brooks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who brings 11 years of direct counseling experience and over 20 years working in mental and behavioral health settings.

Background and approach

She blends practical, evidence-informed strategies with a warm, nonjudgmental presence to help clients move through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD-related challenges. Patricia emphasizes hope and the value of challenging unhelpful thoughts and beliefs so people can pursue meaningful change.

Her clinical style is flexible and collaborative, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness practices to tailor care to each person’s needs.

She offers individual, family, and group therapy and addresses a wide range of issues including parenting, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, substance use, bipolar symptoms, and coping with major life changes. Patricia makes accessibility a priority with evening and weekend hours and participation with commercial insurance and employee assistance programs.

How Patricia’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Patricia draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide much of her online work. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building, which can be taught and practiced across video, phone, or messaging formats. ACT focuses on values, acceptance, and committed action, helping people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Patricia works with each person to explore which tools and techniques fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the blend of CBT, ACT, DBT, EFT, or mindfulness methods as therapy progresses so the plan remains responsive to changing needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to schedule support around work, caregiving, or other commitments. These remote formats make it possible to continue consistent therapeutic work from home or wherever is most convenient, while preserving the same clinical principles and skill practice Patricia uses in-person.
